Boiled Pork Salad with Sesame Dressing (Buta no Reishabu Salad)

Reisyabu literally means cold shabu-shabu, a traditional Japanese hot pot. The pork sheds a lot of the fat when it is boiled and tastes great with salad and sesame dressing.

Yield: 2 servings
Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1/2 lb sliced pork loin
  • 1/2 head of lettuce (cut into bite sizes)
  • 1/8 medium onion (thinly sliced)
Spices
  • 2 tsp sake (for marinating pork)
  • 1/4 cup sake (for boiling pork)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • seame dressing
Preparation

  1. Put the pork in the bowl with sake and marinate for 5 minutes
  2. Soak sliced onion in cold running water for a few minutes (which will blunt the strong onion taste)
  3. Boil 4 cups of water, add sake, salt and boil pork until pork is cooked through. Remove and cut into bite sizes
  4. Make a bed of lettuce and onion on a plate, then add pork and sesame dressing and serve

  4. Thanks! I'm very happy to hear that. I went to South Korea with my family and shopped and ate all kinds of Korean food. I may even put some Korean recipes here sometime in the near future!
