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.
Ingredients
Method
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until they become translucent.
- Add the sliced beef to the pot and cook until it changes color and is no longer pink.
- Add the potatoes, carrots, and green beans to the pot, and stir everything together.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the dashi stock, soy sauce, mirin, and sugar until well combined. Pour this mixture into the pot.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
- Taste the broth and adjust the seasoning with salt if needed.
- Once everything is cooked and seasoned to your liking, remove from heat.
