Gyudon (Japanese Beef Bowl)

Gyudon is quite popular in Japan. I used to make it with a complicated recipe for years, but I have come to realize that a complicated recipe is not necessary for gyudon.

Here is a simple recipe that yields surprisingly delicious gyudon.

• 300 g beef, thinly sliced
  
• 1 onions
  
• Ginger juice
  
• Garlic
  
• 1 tsp instant dashi powder
  
• 50 ml soy sauce
  
• 50 ml mirin
  
• 50 ml sake
  
• 600 ml water
  
• Bowl of cooked rice
  
• Beni shoga (pickled red ginger)
  

1. Thinly cut onions.

2. Cut beef into bite size pieces.

3. Put water, instant dashi powder, soy sauce, mirin, and sake in a pot. Put it on stove and turn on heat.

4. Add onions. Bring to a boil.

5. Simmer for 8 minutes.

6. Add beef and simmer for another 2 minutes. Turn off heat.

7. Put it on top of rice. Top it with beni shoga.
