Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 60 seconds.

  2. Step 2

    Working in two batches, sear pork slices 90 seconds per side without stirring—edges should look golden and opaque.

  3. Step 3

    Return all pork to the skillet. Add ginger, soy sauce, and mirin, then toss for 1 minute until the liquid coats the meat.

  4. Step 4

    Cook for another 30 seconds until the sauce turns glossy and slightly caramelized.

  5. Step 5

    Sprinkle green onions over the top and slide onto a plate.
