Japanese Ginger Pork (Shogayaki)

Shogayaki is a beloved Japanese dish featuring thin slices of pork sautéed in a fragrant ginger-infused sauce. The pork is typically marinated briefly in a mixture of soy sauce, mirin, sake, and freshly grated ginger, then quickly stir-fried until tender.

Often served with steamed rice and shredded cabbage, Shōgayaki is a staple in Japanese home cooking, appreciated for its simplicity and satisfying taste.

Takoyaki (octopus balls)

Freshly made takoyaki are perfectly round, with a crispy, caramelized exterior and a soft, chewy interior. Each bite bursts with crunchy squid tentacles and succulent shrimp, coated in a rich, sweet and savory teriyaki sauce and smooth, creamy mayonnaise. The bonito flakes tremble gently in the steam. You just can't stop eating them! Recently, my little one asked, "I haven't had takoyaki in ages!" Usually, a box only has six pieces, and I'm always counting them carefully. But at home, I can have takoyaki freedom! Half a pound of flour makes 24 pieces—enough to satisfy everyone! Watching my little one proudly showing off the plate, face covered in sauce, this mom thinks: This cooking skill is off the charts!
