Pork & cabbage with miso sauce

We had the really sad news about the earthquake in Qinghai, China. Hundreds of people are dead or injured and many of the survivors have to survive without even a house. It's snowing even in some parts of Japan so it must be so cold up there....

Earthquakes are very terrifying. We often feel earthquakes here in Japan so I'm used to small tremors. However, I only feel despaired when it becomes so big. Then, nothing can help.

When we had a big earthquake in 1993 in Hokkaido (M7.8), everything on shelves fell off and we couldn't even walk. Also after a big earthquake, many more after-quakes continue coming so that's another nightmare. Luckily, houses in Hokkaido were strong enough to hold against it but I'm worried about those in middle/western Japan...

Today's cooking is the fried pork pickled with miso.
Ingredients:
sliced pork
cabbage
ginger(grazed)
mirin(1tbps)
miso(1tbsp)
sake(1tbsp)

1- Mix grazed ginger, mirin, miso and sake together. Put pork in, stir well and put it in the fridge for 30 min.

2- Fry 1 on a heated oil. When the surface is cooked, add cut cabbage.

It tastes goood! Please eat with rice!
