Quick Nikujaga (Meat and Potato Stew) Easy to make, delicious, AND filling, it's no wonder Nikujaga is a perennial favorite of home cooks throughout Japan.

The meat is added for flavor rather than substance, just like most of Japanese cooking. It is simmered in the classic Japanese seasonings of soy sauce, sake, mirin, and sugar.

  1. Peel the potatoes and cut into bite sized pieces. Cut the onions into wedges. Cut up the carrot roughly. Cut the konnyaku noodles into easy to eat pieces.
  2. Be sure to use a pan that has a lid.
  3. Heat the oil in the pan, and stir-fry the onions over medium heat for 2 minutes.
  4. Add the carrot and potatoes and stir fry. When everything is coated with oil layer the shirataki and beef on top, then add the [A] ingerdients and put on the lid. Don't mix the contents of the pan.
  5. Simmer over medium-low heat with the lid on for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, mix everything up from the bottom.
  6. Put the lid back on and simmer for another 8 to 10 minutes. When a skewer goes through a piece of potato easily, add the butter or margarine. When it melts the dish is done.
  7. This much moisture came out of the vegetables.
