Pork Shogayaki Bento

Shogayaki is similar to teriyaki but with a kick of freshly grated ginger (shoga). It is one of the most popular home-cooked meals for lunch, dinner, and bento in Japan. We tend to use very thinly sliced pork for shogayaki, but thin-cut boneless pork chops that are found at any supermarket are also fine to use. You can cut the pork into pieces after cooking to make it easier to fit in a bento box and eat with chopsticks.
