400 grams Pork shoulder block
1 Salt, coarsely ground black pepper
1 tbsp White flour
1 for frying Vegetable oil
2 to 5 cloves Garlic (cut in half and remove the sprout inside)
1 as much (to taste) Finely shredded cabbage
2 tbsp Tonkatsu sauce (Japanese-style Worcestershire sauce or steak sauce)
1 tbsp Ketchup
2 tbsp Soy sauce
1 tbsp Sugar
1 tbsp Honey
1 tbsp Mirin
3 tbsp Sake
1 tsp Grated ginger
1 tsp Grated garlic
1 tbsp Grated onion

1
Put the sauce ingredients in a small pan, and simmer over low heat to reduce a little.
2
Cut the block of pork into half diagonally.
3
Then, make 3 to 4 slits into each piece.
4
Season the meat with salt and coarsely ground black pepper, and dust lightly with flour.
5
Heat oil and garlic in a pan over low heat, until the garlic is just lightly colored.
6
Take the garlic out and reserve.
7
Turn the heat up to high.
8
When the pan is hot, add the meat from Step 3, and brown well on both sides.
9
Add sake (or water) to the pan so it sizzles.
10
Immediately cover with a lid, turn the heat down to low-medium, and steam-fry until the pork is cooked through.
11
Add the garlic from Step 4, too.
12
When the pork is cooked, wipe out any excess oil and fat from the frying pan, add the sauce from Step 1 and simmer to coat the meat with it.
13
When the sauce has thickened and has coated the meat, take the meat out and put on a plate with shredded cabbage on the side.
14
Done.
15
Eat up!

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
