Niku Jaga

Niku Jaga is a classic Japanese comfort food, a hearty stew made with meat, potatoes, and vegetables simmered in a sweet and savory soy-based sauce.

Ingredients - Serves 4

Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the beef. Cook until browned.
Add the potatoes, onion, and carrots to the pot and stir to combine.
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and sake. Pour this mixture over the meat and vegetables.
Add the dashi to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for about 1 hour, or until the vegetables are tender.
Add the peas to the pot and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Serve the stew hot, with rice on the side if desired.
