I had a dinner party last night. Japanese style which is good and healthy on the most part although they do use a lot of sugar in things. I made the best pork dish. I don't usually eat pork but I got some of those extra lean pork stirfry strips and it was rather good. Easy as pie to make as well. This is the recipe:

1/2 kilo of pork strips
2 tbsp fresh grated ginger
4 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp mirin

Mix the ingredients, except the pork of course, together. Marinate the pork for as long as you need to - at least 1/2 hour, then stir fry.

How easy is that? It is so yummy I think I will be making it again. I always thought Japanese food was really fiddly and time consuming but I made the pork, a chicken teriyaki, a pumpkin dish and some pickled vegetables in no time at all. It was a very impressive spread and I had it all really about 2 hours before the guests arrived.
