Cooking tips

  • Mirin is essential in this recipe due to its sticky, sweet starch content, which gives the pork a glossy, appetizing sheen—do not skip it.
  • Generously grinding whole black pepper balances the sweetness of the teriyaki sauce and cuts through the richness of the pork.
  • If you don’t have a torch, sear the sauce in a hot pan over high heat until it thickens slightly and sticks to the pork, achieving a similar depth of flavor.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to recreate the authentic taste of a Japanese restaurant butadon at home with minimal effort.
  • People looking for a comforting, sweet-savory, hearty pork rice bowl that kids love.
