Boiled Pork Salad with Sesame Dressing (Buta no Reishabu Salad)

Reisyabu literally means cold shabu-shabu, a traditional Japanese hot pot. The pork sheds a lot of the fat when it is boiled and tastes great with salad and sesame dressing.

Ingredients

• 1/2 lb sliced pork loin

1. Put the pork in the bowl with sake and marinate for 5 minutes
