- ¼ tsp Salt
- ⅛ tsp Black Pepper
- 2 Cups Rice

- 1 tsp Sweetener your preferred sweetener
- 1/2 tsp Black Pepper

Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients.

- In a small bowl, mix the boiled sake with soy sauce, sweetener, grated garlic, and black pepper to make the sauce.
- Combine corn kernels and butter in a microwave-safe bowl, cover, and microwave for 15 to 25 seconds until the butter melts. Spoon the buttered corn over a bed of rice on a plate.
- Heat a little cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the sliced pork and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pork is browned and cooked through.
