300 grams Pork (chopped, cut-offs)
1 pinch each Salt and pepper
1 and 1/2 to 2 tablespoons Katakuriko
1 tsp Soy sauce
1 Oil
1/2 Carrot
2 Green peppers
1/2 Onion (large)
1 tbsp Soy sauce
1 tbsp Sake
1 and 1/2 tablespoons Sugar
2 tbsp Ketchup
3 tbsp Vinegar
1 tsp Weipa (or chicken stock soup seasoning)
1 tsp or more Katakuriko

1
Mix together the ingredients for the sauce and set aside.
2
Cut the carrot into bite-sized pieces and microwave for a minute in a heat-resistant container.
3
Slice the onion into wedges, remove the seeds from the green peppers, and cut into bite-sized pieces.
4
Preseason the pork with all ingredients except the katakuriko, shape into 3 cm balls, and coat in katakuriko.
5
Heat the oil in pan, saute the carrots, green peppers, and onions, and remove from the heat when the onions become translucent.
6
In the same pan, add the oil and broil the pork from Step 4.
7
Don't agitate the pan.
8
Flip them over once they turn golden brown, cover with a lid and cook over low heat for 5-6 minutes.
9
Once both sides are golden brown, absorb the excess oil with a paper towel, add the vegetables and seasoning, and heat until the sauce thickens and the meat and vegetables are well-coated.
10
I stock up on pork when it's on sale and make chopped pork balls to store in the freezer.
