Ginger Lovers

I've been making a lot of iced tea this week, and the last few times I sliced up some fresh ginger to steep along with the tea bags. Anyway it was really good and refreshing, especially with a squeeze of lemon. I just love ginger.

@QVCkitty1 - If you like ginger, you might like one of my trusted meals from Japan - Ginger Pork. There's no recipe - we just kind of make it. DH does the cooking of the marinated pork!

Slice boneless pork, or pork tenderloin (which we usually use), and put it in a bowl. Take about 1/2 knob of fresh ginger, peel it, and mince it (I use a small grater and do this right on top of the meat). Pour about 1/4 to 1/2 bottle Japanese style soy sauce (Chinese style is too bitter; I use Kikkoman low salt) until the meat is about 3/4 covered. Mix together with your hands. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate about one hour. Heat a wok or frying pan and add a little oil. Take some pieces of meat - a few at at time- and cook them until they are done. Do this in batches until all of the meat is done. Serve over - or with - rice. Delicious!

Sorry I couldn't be more specific. I've been making this since I taught in Japan. There are not many ingredients - I don't use salt, pepper, or anything besides the ginger root. It's easy and it's good!

I love ginger too!

@QVCkitty1 - I hope you like it! The last time I was out before all of this hit hard I tried to get some tenderloins to make it. They were all out of anything meat.
