Bread. Cabbage. Pork. Soy Sauce
This delicious recipe combines tender pork, crunchy cabbage, and savory soy sauce, all nestled between slices of fresh bread. It's a satisfying meal that brings together delightful textures and flavors, perfect for a casual lunch or dinner for four.
Ingredients
- 4 slices of your favorite bread (sourdough, whole grain, or white)
- 2 cups of finely shredded cabbage
- 1 pound of pork (pork shoulder or pork loin, thinly sliced)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for cooking)
- Optional: sliced green onions and sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Marinate the Pork: In a bowl, combine the thinly sliced pork and soy sauce. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Prepare the Cabbage: While the pork is marinating, rinse the shredded cabbage under cold water and drain well. Set aside.
- Cook the Pork: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated pork and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through and has a nice golden color. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Combine Ingredients: Once the pork is cooked, add the shredded cabbage to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cabbage is slightly wilted but still crunchy.
- Toast the Bread: While the pork and cabbage mixture is cooking, toast the bread slices in a toaster or on a skillet until golden brown.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Place a generous portion of the pork and cabbage mixture on two slices of toasted bread. Top with the other two slices to create sandwiches.
- Garnish and Serve: If desired, sprinkle sliced green onions and sesame seeds on top for added flavor and presentation. Cut the sandwiches in half and serve immediately.
