Japanese Sweet and Sour Pork

This is the first time I’ve made Subuta while back living in Japan, it used to be a dish I made often while in England. The recipe is much the same as the original I posted, though I can now buy good quality Takenoko (bamboo shoot), which you can see in the picture.

This is a dish very quick and easy to make, the pork mince matches the texture of the shiitake very well. The sweetness of the sauce and the spicy shichimi make it a bite sized dish full of flavour.
