Gyudon – Japanese beef bowl

Ingredients for 2 servings:

• 350 g beef, very thinly sliced
• some spring onions
• 1 small onion(s)
• 125 ml dashi
• 1 tbsp sake
• 2 tbsp mirin
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp sugar
• 160 g jasmine rice

Instructions

Working time approx. 10 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 25 minutes

Cook 160g of jasmine rice in a pot or rice cooker according to the package instructions. Have the butcher slice the meat wafer-thin, or slice it yourself at home. Tip: This is much easier if it’s slightly frozen. Slice a small onion into half rings and finely chop the spring onions. In a pan over medium heat, combine 125ml of dashi, 1 tbsp sake, 2 tbsp mirin, and 2 tbsp soy sauce and heat gently. Cover and cook until boiling. Then add the onions and cook with the lid on until soft. Then add the meat and cook briefly until cooked through. Place the rice in a bowl, top with the meat mixture, and then garnish with the spring onions. Itadakimasu!
