4 servings

45 minutes

Pork with spicy funchose is a harmony of flavors that combines the spiciness of Japanese cuisine with the rich texture of tender meat. This dish draws inspiration from traditional Asian recipes where funchose absorbs the aroma of spicy seasonings, making it a perfect complement to the rich meat sauce. The light sweetness of sugar, the spiciness of ginger and garlic, and the deep notes of soy sauce create a truly layered taste. Funchose perfectly absorbs the spicy essence of the broth, creating a soft and aromatic texture. Fresh shallots complete the composition with a light crispy note. This dish not only warms but also satisfies, making it ideal for both a cozy home dinner and a festive feast.
