Beef Bowl

I just found the most wonderful Japanese food blog:japanesefoodaddict.com. It's got the simplest/best Japanese food. I've been searching for somewhere with good Japanese food, food I'll actually eat that don't all for rice vinegar and mirin, etc. Because I'm not gonna go buy these. But this website is perfect. All I need is stuff I already have: soy sauce, soup stock, sugar, etc.

I'm going to be posting the recipes in full with notes of what I substituted/left out. I hope you enjoy!

from japanesefoodaddict.com
Yield: 2 servings
Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients
-2 bowls of steamed rice
-0.4lb of sliced beef
-1 medium onion (sliced)
-1 tsp hon-dashi (soup stock powder)
-6 tsp soy sauce
-4 tsp sake
-4 tsp sugar
-1 tsp granted ginger

Preparation
1. Add hon-dashi and sliced onion in 2 cups of hot water in the saucepan
2. After the water boils, cook for 6 minutes on medium heat
3. Add mixed spices (soy sauce, sake, sugar, ginger) and beef in the saucepan and cook on high heat.
4. Reduce heat to medium and after it boils cover and simmer for 10 minutes
5. Serve it a bowl of steamed rice with soup in the saucepan

NB:
- This is possibly the easiest thing I've made. It took no time and I didn't have to hover over it.
- Go read my Rice in a Pot post if you don't have a rice cooker!
- For the beef, I used beef stir-fry.
- I used regular soup stock cubes, don't worry about it being hon-dashi.
- Instead of grating ginger, I used 1 tsp powdered ginger.
- I didn't even use sake.
- Seriously this taste perfect!
