-beef 150 grams

(thin-sliced)

Steps

1. First, you boiling two cups of water in a pot. Add one handful of
make the dashi. bonito flakes and boil it for about a minute, then take
You can do this out the bonito flakes. (The remaining flavored water is
by considered "dashi" which is used for many Japanese
dishes.)

2. Then you prepare the ingredients. Cut beef into lengths of 3 to 4 cm.
Peel the potatoes, cut them into fours and let them sit in water. Cut
onions into eight pieces in comb shapes. Carrots should be cut into
bite-size chunks.

3. When the frying pan is heated, add cooking oil and sautee the beef. When
the meat changes colors, add potatoes (make sure they're not dripping wet),
then add onions and carrots.

4. Add the dashi made in step 1 into the pot and let the contents boil.
Skim the scum created from boiling potatoes and other ingredients. Then add
soy sauce, sake, sweet cooking rice wine, and sugar. Place a light lid
direclty on the contents and boil for about 15 to 20 minutes in medium
heat.

5. When the ingredients become soft, taste it and add condiments as needed.
And it's done.
7 Tips

- Dashi can be made from powdered dashi mix. In that case, you can add
water instead of dashi in step 3 and add the powdered dashi mix.

- Potatoes can easily lose shape or dissolve under heat, so it would be

good to cut off the edges.

- The light lid in step 4 should be a bit smaller than the diameter of the
pot, and placed directly on top of the boiled ingredients. This makes it
easier for the taste to soak into the ingredients.

"Niku jaga" is loved by most Japanese as a popular "Mom's dish." Please try
it out.
