Mashed Potato Teriyaki Pork Rolls
Japanese use sliced meat for a lot of dishes, and we like to roll other ingredients with the sliced meat. We get creative with ingredients and sauce and make different recipes. Here, I roll mashed potato with sliced pork.
Servings: 3
Ingredients
- ¾ lb thinly sliced pork loin
- 1 Tbsp neutral oil
For Mashed Potatoes
- 1 potato (peeled and quartered)
- 1 green onions/scallions (chopped)
- 1 Tbsp unsalted butter

- freshly ground black pepper
For the Teriyaki Sauce
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 1 Tbsp rice vinegar (unseasoned)
- 1 Tbsp water

Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the teriyaki sauce.
- In a saucepan, put the potatoes and cover them with water. Boil until a skewer goes through the potatoes easily. Drain the hot water completely and mash potatoes in the saucepan. Add salt, pepper, butter, and green onions. Mix all together.
- Take a small portion of mashed potato and squeeze a little bit to put it together. Place the mashed potato at the edge of sliced pork and roll it.
- In a non-stick frying pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. When the pan is hot, gently add the pork rolls in the pan, placing the sealing side bottom first. Cook until all sides are nicely browned.
- Add the teriyaki sauce and coat the meat well with the sauce. Transfer to a plate and drizzle the sauce on top. Serve immediately.
To Store
- You can keep the leftovers in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and in the freezer for 2 weeks.

Just made this tonight! Super easy and very tasty!
Hi Kayune! Awesome! Thank you very much for trying Nami’s recipe and for your kind feedback!🥰
I use your recipes all the time (I’m an American married to a Japanese man living in Japan) and randomly stumbled on this recipe looking for something else. OMG it was SO good! My husband and kids LOVED it. Will def be making this again. Thank you for this and for ALL your delicious recipes! I’m basically learning how to be a “good Japanese wife” from you…
Hi Cara, Yay! We are so happy to hear you and your family enjoyed this dish! We posted many easy Japanese recipes on this website. Please explore, and we hope you enjoy them!
Hi Nami,
Can I use sweet potato for this recipe?
Thank you
Hi Mai! You can, but the texture of these potatoes are different. Potatoes tend to be flaky while sweet potatoes are more like moist? It’s a personal preference in the dish, but sweet potato can be used. 🙂

Oh this looks so delicious! I will try and make it this week, do you think I could use chicken? Also what do you make for a side dish with this?
Hi Leticia! You can use chicken, but you have to pound it to be very thin. It takes a little longer time to cook as chicken is thicker than this sliced pork. I hope the potato will hold inside the roll. Since this dish has flavorful sauce, I’d serve with rice on the side and some refreshing salad. 🙂
Thank you for your reply! I am currently living in Okinawa, and the local grocery stores have chicken in a very thin cut. Now would be a good time for me to try this dish:) I will be sure to make one of your refreshing salads for our side:). Thank you
My store has meat very thin for shabu, and more thick for sukiyaki. Which one is best for this recipe? I think maybe the sukiyaki cut?
Hi Salena! I use thinly slice pork for shabu shabu for this recipe. Sukiyaki one is a bit thicker. You can use it too, but I like thin slice for this recipe. 🙂 It’s so nice to get good sliced meat from your own store… 🙂
