Pork Bowl with Onion

This is quite easy to make. We love it so much that I always regret not having made more for leftovers. If you love pork, you've got to try it! As for rice, I usually cook more rice than needed for a meal, then divide it into meal-size portions. I store the cooked rice in an airtight container in the freezer so that I can eat rice whenever I want to.  

Serve 2
Total time: about 20 min (If you cook rice by rice cooker, it will take about 40 min depending on how fast it cooks.)

• 0.6lbs(300g) to 1 lbs of pork boneless country-style ribs

1. Cut the pork into bite-size chunks. Cut the onion in half in lengthwise sections and slice thinly.

2. In a skillet, cook the pork in hot oil over medium heat for about 3 to 4 min.

3. Flip over the pork and cook until it is no longer pink.

4. Add the sliced onion. Cook and stir it for about 2 minutes or until tender.

5. Add sugar, mirin, sake, dashi powder, and soy sauce.
