Pork in corn starch with teriyaki sauce

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 50 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   First, you need to boil short grain rice, where the ratio of water to rice is 2:1. To do this, you need to bring the water to a boil, add a little salt, add a portion of rice, then cover the pan with a lid and reduce the heat. Rice should be cooked for 25 minutes.

2. STEP 2

   

   While the rice is cooking, you need to cook the pork. First you need to prepare the sauce in which the meat itself will be cooked. You need to take a small but deep container and mix the following ingredients in it: soy sauce, rice vinegar, ground ginger, vegetable oil and sugar. Mix all the ingredients of the sauce very well until the sugar is completely dissolved.

3. STEP 3

   

   Cut a piece of pork into pieces in the form of pork cutlets. Beat each piece with a hammer, add salt and pepper, then roll in corn starch. The starch should cover the pieces of meat with a thin layer, so that all excess should be shaken off.

4. STEP 4

   

   Fry the garlic, cut into slices, in oil, then remove it from the pan; it will no longer be needed. Place the previously prepared pork cutlets into the frying pan. Fry them on both sides for a few minutes. Next, pour in the sauce and continue frying the meat for another 3 minutes. Then turn the meat over again and fry for another couple of minutes. When there are many small bubbles on the surface of the boiling sauce, remove the pan from the heat, as the sauce is already ready.

5. STEP 5

   

   Prepare the remaining ingredients needed to cook pork in cornstarch with teriyaki sauce: sesame seeds, lettuce and green onions. Cut lettuce leaves into thin strips. Finely chop the onion feathers.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place boiled short-grain rice on plates and place lettuce leaves on it. Next, you need to place on each plate a piece of meat, cut into small oblong pieces. All that remains is to decorate the pork in cornstarch and teriyaki sauce. To do this, pour the remaining sauce over the pork, sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
