"Nikujaga (Japanese Beef and Potatoes)"

Ingredients

  • 4 medium sized potatoes
  • 8 ounces thin beef slices, cut into strips
  • half an onion
  • 8 green beans or more
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 4 tbsp kikkoman soy sauce
  • water

Preparation

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut into bite-sized pieces. Thinly slice the onions. Wash the green beans and cut into 4 cm pieces.

Heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil over a medium-high heat saucepan. Brown the beef in batches. Add the onion and potatoes. Stir and cook for 5 minutes over medium-low heat.

Add water to barely cover the content. Add 2 tablespoons of honey, stir to combine. Bring to a simmer. Cook until the potatoes are soft. About 15 minutes. Add the green beans and 4 tablespoons of soy sauce. Stir to combine. Simmer for 5 more minutes.

Check the flavour, add more soy sauce and honey to taste, if required. Serve warm with a bowl of rice.
