Recipe Description

My grandmother used to make Ginger Pork for me when I visited her as a child. I still remember the cubed pork and the tasty gingery sauce. She would serve it in a bowl over white steamed rice. I would each all the pork and rice and I would noisily slurp the last of the sauce from the bowl. Some days, I just crave this comfort food so I came up with my own take on her recipe.

In my recipe, I cook some pork cubes. Then I prepare the sauce by combining the broth, water, soy sauce and sherry before adding onion, garlic, sugar, ginger, salt, pepper. This easy dish is a wholesome taste of my childhood! It makes enough for four people but you can easily double the recipe if you need to.

To make Ginger Pork, you will need the following ingredients:

La receta de Ginger Pork es simplemente genial. Me recuerda cuando mi abuela lo hacía y me lo servía sobre arroz. Ayer lo probé y el sabor fue como un viaje de vuelta a mi niñez. La salsa es rica y fácil de hacer, aunque yo le puse un poco más de jengibre porque me gusta. ¡Definitivamente lo haré de nuevo!

I tried making Ginger Pork after remembering how my grandma made it. It was just like I remembered, with a savory gingery sauce that clings to the pork. Cooking it brought back sweet memories and is easy to prepare. This comfort food satisfied my craving perfectly, and I slurped every bit of the sauce just like I used to.
