1 carrot (150g)
3 potatoes (450g)
2 cups water
2 tbsp sake

sliced beef

🥗Healthier: chicken

💰Cheaper: pork

Chicken is lower in fat and pork is often less expensive.

mirin

🥗Healthier: rice vinegar + sugar

💰Cheaper: white wine + sugar

Rice vinegar mimics the sweetness of mirin with lower calories.

dashi

🥗Healthier: vegetable broth

💰Cheaper: chicken broth

Vegetable broth can provide a lighter flavor.

soy sauce

🥗Healthier: low-sodium soy sauce

💰Cheaper: tamari

Low-sodium options are better for health.

1

Cut the onion into 8 wedges, slice the carrot into 1.5 cm thick half-moons, and quarter the potatoes. Cut the boiled green beans into 3 cm lengths.

2

Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat, add the beef and stir-fry. Once the beef changes color, add the onion, carrot, and potatoes in that order and stir-fry together.

3

Add A (water, sake, hondashi, sugar, mirin) and bring to a boil. Skim off any scum, cover, and simmer on low heat for 10 minutes. Then add B (soy sauce) and simmer uncovered for another 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to coat the ingredients.

4

Serve in a bowl and sprinkle the boiled green beans on top.
