Pork-kakuni with Eggs
- 500 grams A block of pork
- 4 Boiled eggs
- 150 ml Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Mirin
- 70 ml Sake (cooking sake is fine)
- 2 tins Coke (350 ml)
- 2 tsp Japanese dashi stock powder (optional)
- 1 Grated ginger (fresh or tubed)
- 1 Scallions (or spring onion)
- 2 Kiwi
- 1 Yogurt (small tub)
- 1 Oil
- Prepare the pork block.
- Cut into bite sizes.
- If you cut the pieces too big, it'll be difficult to eat.
- Put the pork pieces into a bowl.
- Scoop out the flesh of the kiwi with a spoon.
- Add the kiwi, yogurt and coke to the bowl.
- Mix the bowl from step 2 and rest for 20 to 30 minutes.
- If you marinate the pork too long, it'll lose its texture and fall apart, so watch out!
- Boil the eggs while marinating the pork.
- Prepare the stock too.
- Mix the soy sauce, mirin, sake and a can of coke in a deep pot.
- Remove the pork from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels.
- Heat oil in a pan and brown all sides of the pork.
- After browning, add pork to the stock.
- Add scallions, ginger and simmer over medium heat for 20-30 minutes.
- Remove scum or excess fat.
- Add boiled eggs and cover with a sheet of aluminum foil for 10 to 20 minutes over low heat.
- Eat straight away or let cool overnight!
- The brand of soy sauce, coke, and mirin available overseas may be different from what's common in Japan.
- Try different brands until you find your favorite.
- Your non-Japanese friends may prefer stronger flavoring.
