Cutting the pork into thin strips ensures quick and even cooking.
In a bowl, mix soy sauce, sake, grated ginger, minced garlic, and black pepper.
Grating the ginger and mincing the garlic releases their full flavor.
Add the pork to the marinade and let it sit for 10 minutes.
Avoid marinating for too long to prevent the pork from becoming tough.
Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the pork for a good sear.
Drain the pork and cook in the skillet until browned on all sides.
Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the skillet.
Pour the remaining marinade into the skillet and cook for 2 minutes.
Cooking the marinade briefly enhances its flavor and ensures it's safe to eat.
Serve the pork hot with your choice of sides.
Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds for added flavor and presentation.
