Nikujaga recipe

If you make it with Kobe beef, the usual nikujaga will be even more delicious.

Nikujaga is also often made.
Nikujaga is usually made with bonito and kombu dashi, but if you use good meat, you don't have to use dashi because of the umami of the meat.
You can have a rich nikujaga.

Guru's Point

Fry the meat first!

Ingredients (for 4 people)

Kobe beef sliced meat 500g
3 onions
4 medium potatoes
2 carrots
Beef tallow (Japanese beef)
*Even if the meat is not wagyu beef, just using wagyu beef tallow will improve the taste!
salt/pepper
Japanese sake, sugar, soy sauce, mirin

Nikujaga recipe (Tacchan style)

01.: Put the beef tallow in a hot pan and grease it all over. Fry the meat.; * Not only the bottom of the pot but also the sides so that the meat does not stick! Fry the meat.

02.: When the meat is browned, add the onions, potatoes, and carrots. When the fat spreads all over, add sake.

03.: When it boils, lower the heat and add sugar, soy sauce, mirin, and sake to your liking. Since the onion has a sweet taste, you can use sparingly the sugar and mirin.
