What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Talking Points: Quick Teriyaki Pork Bowl! Say the word “teriyaki” and watch people start to salivate. It’s all about the sauce. Part sweet like honey, and part salty like soy sauce, only thicker. Some may use the word “gooey” to describe how teriyaki sauce sticks to the meat sealing in all those concentrated spices and juices. For today’s drool-inducing teriyaki you may substitute pork for chicken, depending on what you have on hand. Just remember, although it’s a quick meal, you still need to be patient and kind. You must allow time to cook the rice.
QUICK TERIYAKI PORK BOWL
Ingredients:
2 cups boneless pork, cooked and cut into bite-size pieces
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1/2 teaspoon ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions:
Combine brown sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, minced garlic, and cornstarch in a bowl. Whisk together until the cornstarch is dissolved and no lumps remain. In a skillet over medium heat, add cooked pork and teriyaki sauce. Coat the meat well. Continue to warm, stirring constantly, until the pork is heated through and the sauce thickens into a shiny glaze. Keep warm while making the side dishes. Remove from heat and serve with steamed broccoli and rice.
Except for meat, I can use everything else, Gail. Thank you.

I know that the fault is on my side but I don’t like it, although I should. As it is, salads, fruits, and vegetables, plus pulses and soups are enough for me.

Ginger is so underrated in my opinion. How about some ribs?

Sorry…..ribs are too messy for me. One time I passed on bbq ribs and my sister-in-law got some instead. She took one bite and coughed from the vinegar. However, when she coughed bbq sauce landed all over my back! Go figure! 😜🍃🤣
