Teriyaki Beef Rice Bowl Recipe: Japanese Fast Food At Home

Posted on Saturday, January 28, 2012 | By: Carmen Anderson

In Japan, there is a very popular meal called Donburi! It is a big bowl of rice topped with meat cooked in a sweet, soy based sauce.There are many kinds of rice bowl dishes in Japanese cooking - the most famous are beef rice bowl and chicken and egg rice bowl. These meals are fast and cheap, and they are very popular at lunch hour in Japan
I have been craving for this wonderful hug-in-a-bowl comfort meal for awhile, and it just happened that my aunt gave me some shabu shabu beef the other night when we went for hotpot. So I decided to have a go at it. I used Teriyaki sauce instead of the soy sauce to give it an extra sweet kick. It turned out so delicious that it got eaten by my husband in record breaking time!

Cook Time: 15 minutes
Serves : 2 -3
Estimated Cost: $8

Ingredients

-200g thinly sliced beef (I use the shabu shabu cut)
-1 large onion, sliced thinly
-100 ml white wine
-120 cup water
- 60 ml Teriyaki sauce
- 2 tablespoons sugar
-180 cup Mirin (Japanese cooking Sake) you can buy this in any Asian Supermarket or
substitute it with white cooking wine mixed with sugar

Preparations

In a medium-size saucepan, mix 1 cup of white wine and 1/2 cup water. Bring to boil.
Put in beef slices and onions, and let them simmer for a few minutes.
Add Teriyaki sauce, Mirin and sugar. Cover and cook for a further 3 minutes.
Prepare cooked rice in bowls and add beef with the sauce on top.

Husband Says: "Pretty sure this dish was my idea. :) But being the lovely husband that I am, I'll let this one go. Nom nom nom."
