Instructions
1
Prep
Whisk white miso, mirin, sake, soy sauce, and sugar together until smooth. Toss pork cubes through until fully coated.
2
Marinate
Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes so the miso penetrates the meat without over-curing it.
3
Grill
Place skewer on medium-high heat 10–12 minutes, turning every 2–3 minutes, until charred and pork reaches 145°F internally. Baste with remaining marinade in final 3 minutes.
4
Plate
Set skewer alongside steamed rice, scatter scallion and toasted sesame seeds over pork, and serve with quick-pickled cucumber.
