Curry flavored pork sauté (カレー風味のポークソテー)

Curry flavored pork sauté is popular for children in Japan. This dish matches very well with steamed rice. This dish has little teriyaki and thick rich Japanese curry flavors. I really like the combination of these flavors. This dish is super easy and quick to make at home. You can enjoy eating a very unique pork sauté with family!
