In 春野菜薑燒豬肉定食｜日本經典家常菜！超下飯做法簡單【日式料理】, the channel MASAの料理ABC shares a brilliant rendition of a classic Japanese set meal. Rather than marinating thin cuts of meat, MASA coats slightly thicker pork slices in flour before pan-frying, a technique that locks in the meat’s juices and wonderfully thickens the glaze. The rich meat is meant to be eaten wrapped with sweet Taiwanese spring cabbage and fresh new onions, which are lightly stir-fried to retain a satisfying crunch without any harsh pungency. He rounds out this highly appetizing tutorial with a refreshing cold mustard greens dish topped with bonito flakes to balance the vegetable’s natural bitterness, alongside a simple but comforting tofu and seaweed soup.

In 炒高麗菜總是出水又不脆？關鍵在加鹽時機！｜手撕高麗菜 [詹姆士] on the 詹姆士官方專屬頻道 channel, Chef James demonstrates a fantastic recipe for Hand-Torn Cabbage (手撕高麗菜) that boasts a tantalizing hint of numbing spice.
