JAPANESE WAYS OF COOKING

Ginger pork, a popular Japanese dish, is typically made with a sauce of grated ginger, soy sauce, sake and mirin; the use of oyster sauce here creates richness and complexity. Instead of the usual accompaniment of shredded cabbage, the pork is served atop a mixture of fresh lettuce and piquant baby leaves so that the diner can first appreciate the robust, gingery meat alone, and then experience the well-balanced flavor of the pork accented by crisp leaves.
