Recipe Notes

In this cooking method, chicken and fish such as marlin, pacific cod, pollock and salmon are also delicious.
We recommend marinating the pork the night before and cooking it in the morning as a bento ingredient.
Alternatively, place the pork misozuke-yaki and vegetables on steamed rice and enjoy it as a donburi rice bowl.
