Nikujaga
Nikujaga is a delicious Japanese dish that combines two key ingredients: meat (niku) and potatoes (jagaimo). It’s a comforting and flavorful dish typically made with thinly sliced beef, potatoes, onions, and other vegetables such as carrots and green beans. The ingredients are simmered in a sweet and savory soy-based sauce until they become tender and the flavors meld together. Nikujaga is often enjoyed with a bowl of steamed rice.
