【Dad's Flavor 👨‍🍳 Roast Pork】 Juicy with Shio-Koji + Rice Cooker Keep-Warm! The Divine Technique of Poking Holes

Roast pork where the key is poking holes with a fork to let the flavor penetrate, combined with marinating in shio-koji.
After steaming with a garlic sauce, it's finished by slowly keeping it warm in a rice cooker.
A dad's cooking method that is cost-effective, time-saving, and so delicious that kids will gobble it up.

Pork that had been fast asleep in the back of the fridge.
The moment I found this guy, my dad instincts kicked in.
Today's target is roast pork.
It's a classic 'Dad Meal'—juicy and a total rice thief.

Step 1: Fork Poking (The Divine Flavor-Soaking Technique)
Poke holes in the meat with a fork.
With the feeling of 'Hokuto Shinken! Keiraku Hiko! Atatata~!', stab away! 😆
I grin, thinking, 'Now the flavor won't escape from the inside!' 👍

Put it in a bag, remove the air, and marinate in shio-koji for at least an hour. At this point, the battle is already won. The magic of shio-koji promises it will be soft and juicy 🍀.

Step 2: Sauce Strategy (Sweet and Savory Temptation)
A pinch each of salt and coarse black pepper
2 tablespoons of honey
2 tablespoons of soy sauce
1 clove of grated garlic (approx. 6g)

Throw everything into the bag and massage it.
Leave it for another hour.
This 'waiting' time is the secret to Dad's cooking.
The flavor soaks in while I have a drink 🍶 and a smoke 🚬 👍.

Step 3: Searing (Street Food Vibe)
Sear it over medium heat with oil, rolling it around to brown all sides.
It makes me want to shout, 'Feels like grilled squid at a street stall! 🙌'

Once it looks good, add the marinade (the liquid from the bag).
Cover and simmer on low heat.

Step 4: The Miracle of the Rice Cooker (The King of Hands-Off Cooking)
Once the liquid has reduced to almost a syrup, put it in a bag with the sauce. Remove the air, place it in the rice cooker with enough boiling water to submerge it, and...
Keep it warm in the rice cooker for an hour and a half.
In the meantime, you can do laundry, help the kids with homework, anything 😊.
Dad gets some free time 🙌 (lol).
It's like simmering it covered on low heat.

The finished roast pork is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside 🍀.
The sweetness of the honey, the richness of the soy sauce, and the punch of the garlic create a perfect harmony 😋.

The kids say, 'This meat is delicious! Can I have more rice? 😋'

A unique failure story:
I've poked it so much that the meat turned into a honeycomb state before 💦 (bitter laugh).
But it's okay because the shio-koji covers for it ✨.

This rice cooker keep-warm technique is a time-saving godsend.
A single piece of meat looks luxurious, and the flavor penetration is outstanding ✨.
The real thrill of Dad's cooking = a simple dish that makes everyone happy.
The family saying 'More, please!' is the best reward of all 🍀.

The meat, seared with a street-stall squid vibe, is elevated into a feast by the rice cooker.
The joy of deep flavor warms up the family dinner table.
Next time, I want to write a scientific report on optimizing the number of pokes! 🎉
