What do you think of my first video? Sixteen seconds of my Okinawa Shoyu Pork recipe simmering in a rich sweet and sour sauce.  🙂

At this point, the aroma of the [popup_product]ginger[/popup_product] and garlic plus that of the Shoyu bubbling away is enough to make you want to sample the meat.  Then sample it again, just to make sure.

You could easily make a piggy out of yourself with this recipe.  It’s hard to believe something so simple tastes so good!
