Name: Pork Shoulder Chop with Charred Cabbage & Sake-Shoyu Pan Sauce
Prep time: 10 min

Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients: 2 boneless pork shoulder chops (8 oz each, 1 inch thick); 3 tablespoons neutral oil, divided; Kosher salt & cracked black pepper; 4 cups thinly sliced purple cabbage; 1 tablespoon butter; ¼ cup sake; 3 tablespoons soy sauce; 1 tablespoon mirin; ½ teaspoon grated ginger; ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard; 1 teaspoon rice vinegar; 1 garlic clove, minced; 2 tablespoons butter for sauce; 1 scallion, sliced on bias; 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds

A different cut, different format—here the pork shoulder chop (thicker, more forgiving) gets a two-stage cook: a high-heat sear to build crust, then a gentle oven finish to ensure tenderness. The braised cabbage soaks up a sake and shoyu sauce that's both delicate and deeply savory.
