Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon miso
  • 1 teaspoon mirin
  • 3-4 pieces thinly sliced pork about 4 ounces (100 grams)
  • 1 egg
  • A little salt
  • A little sugar
  • Vegetable oil for cooking
  • 3 green shiso leaves
  • 1 serving cooked rice

Instructions

  • Mix the miso and mirin together and spread it evenly over the meat slices. Wrap in cling film and refrigerate overnight.
  • Break the egg into a bowl, add a little salt and sugar and beat well.
  • Heat up some vegetable oil in a frying pan. Pour in the egg mixture and make a thin omelet. Turn it over once and cook the other side quickly. Take it out, cool and shred thinly.
  • Put the miso-marinated pork into the empty frying pan. Cook over low heat on both sides, being careful not to let it burn.
  • Fill a bento box with the rice and top with the shredded omelet. Alternate slices of pork and shiso leaves on top of the egg and rice.
