No more hardening! Moist and tender "pork shabu-shabu"

[Ingredients] (1 serving)
Thinly sliced pork (for shabu-shabu)...80g
Salt...1 teaspoon
Sake・・・1 tablespoon

<How to make>

(1) Bring 600ml of water (not included in the recipe) to a boil in a pot, add salt and sake. Once boiling, turn off the heat, add the pork slices one by one, and cook using the residual heat.

(2) Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the heat and place it on a tray to cool. If you're in a hurry, you can fan it with a fan.

If you are using a large amount of meat, when the water temperature starts to drop, bring it to a boil again, turn off the heat, spread the pork out and add it, and repeat.

There is no need to rinse it in water, put it in ice water, or chill it in the refrigerator. Doing so will cause the pork to lose its flavor and the fat to harden and become dry. It is recommended that you make it each time you need it, rather than preparing it in advance.

The reason for adding salt is to remove the unpleasant odor and add a subtle flavor. The salt brings out the flavor of the pork. Personally, I like thinly sliced pork shoulder.

<How to make>

(1) Rinse the kiriboshi daikon roughly, place in water (not included in the recipe) until it is just covered, and leave for 10 minutes. Drain in a colander and cut into bite-sized pieces using kitchen scissors.

(2) After the pork shabu-shabu has cooled, cut it into thin strips that are easy to combine with the kiriboshi daikon radish.

(3) Put the kiriboshi daikon radish and boiled pork in a bowl, add the ingredients in order, mix, and let sit for about 10 minutes. Add green onions and, if desired, chili oil or Korean chili peppers.

Use the water used to soak kiriboshi daikon in miso soup, etc. Also, there is no need to squeeze kiriboshi daikon tightly.

The sesame sauce made by combining the ingredients A can also be used on salads or chilled tofu, so it's a good idea to make extra.

In addition to "Dried Daikon Radish and Pork Shabu Namul," "Pork Shabu" is also useful for somen noodles and chilled Chinese noodles.

If you put the "pork shabu-shabu" in a bowl with cucumbers pounded with a rolling pin and tomatoes cut into bite-sized pieces, you will have a hearty side dish salad.

You don't have to make the dressing, just use whatever you like in the fridge, such as ponzu sauce or sesame sauce.
