Shogayaki is one of my favourite Japanese dishes. One of the hardest things to find since I moved to Japan, is British bacon. Over here we do have a thin type of pork, but that is normally used for nabe; however shogayaki is normally cooked with pork just a bit thicker than Western bacon.

Shogayaki is best cooked with some vegetables and rice; I chose to have shredded cabbage and a mix of brown and white rice with this dish. The cabbage takes on all of the lovely juices from the shogayaki pork if you lay the meat on top of the veg; and the mix of white and brown rice goes down a treat with this dish.

I enjoy trying my luck with various Japanese ingredients from the supermarket, and I recently created a new dish with mentsuyu, which is actually a soup noodle base. I was very surprised how well this recipe turned out. A little bit similar to beef in black bean sauce, I found the flavours for this were actually better and more Japanese, so a bit more subtle on the palette.
