Gyudon- work in progress
Here’s a recipe I've made a few times, i’m in the process of making it my own, so far i’ve only really taken out the pickled red ginger, cus i’m not a fan, replacing with fried ginger could be an idea.. I also tend to add shredded carrot, for extra veg
A very quick and easy dish.
GYUDON
Prep Time 5 mins Cook Time 15 mins Total Time 20 mins
Gyudon (or Beef Bowl) is like comfort food for Japanese and it's a perfect weeknight meal as you can prepare everything in less than 30 minutes!
INGREDIENTS
1 onion
2 green onions/scallions
¾ lb thinly sliced beef (chuck or rib eye) (12 oz or 340 g)
1 Tbsp neutral flavor oil (vegetable, canola, etc)
3 large eggs (beaten, optional)
For the Sauce
2 tsp sugar
2 Tbsp sake
2 Tbsp mirin
1 Tbsp soy sauce
ginger! To Serve
3 cups cooked Japanese short grain rice
INSTRUCTIONS
Slice the onions, cut the green onion into thin slices (save for garnish), and cut the meat into small pieces.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium high heat and cook the onions until tender.
Add the meat and sugar and cook until no longer pink.
Add sake, mirin, and soy sauce.
Reduce the heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
If you like to add the egg, slowly and evenly drizzle the beaten egg over the beef. Cook covered until the egg is done. Add the green onion right before removing from the heat.
Place the beef and egg on top of steamed rice, pour the desired amount of cooking sauce, and top with green onion.
