Grilled Pork with Miso Sauce (Buta no Misoyaki)

Miso is a staple of Japanese cuisine, typically produced by fermenting soy beans. It is a delicious, salty,seasoning used to make not only miso soup, but a wide variety of Japanese dishes. Misoyaki (the "yaki" means grilled, e.g. "teriyaki", or "yakitori") is one of these. Before cooking, the meat is marinated in a mixture of miso, soy sauce, sake, sugar, sesame oil, garlic, and green onion (i.e. the essentials), then fried and paired with bean sprouts and green bean salad. Enjoy!
