Japanese beef rice

I bought some sliced beef from Asian supermarket last week, I wanted to make hotpot, but it ended up beef rice :)

In Japanese it is called Gyudon. As I see I got most of the ingredients at home, I want to try this out.

Ingredients

  

2 Eggs

260g Beef with a bit of fat, thinly sliced

Sauce*:
2tbsp Soy sauce
1tbsp Sake
1tbsp Brown sugar
1tbsp Hon-Mirin
100ml Water
1/2tsp granulated Dashi
5g Fresh ginger, grated**

1 Onion, sliced & separate the layers

*No Japanese ingredients at home? Solution = I used 100ml sweet barbeque beef sauce, add in 60ml water


** I used ginger powder as I don't have any fresh ginger at home

Serve with:
Steamed Japanese rice***
Shichimi - Seven flavor chili pepper
1 stalk Spring onion, chopped finely


*** it is not told in the original recipe, but you can keep the boiled beef water (remove some grease on the surface) and cook the rice

Instructions
1. Prepare Japanese rice

2. In a heavy duty pot (Le Creuset or Staub), put 2 eggs

In another pot, boil 1L water in a pot, when it is boil, pour the boiling water in the heavy duty pot
Cover the lid immediately, set it aside for 20mins
After 20mins, remove water, set aside

3. In a pot, boil water to cook beef, when it is boiling, put beef and cook until it starts turning red color to brown color. Remove water immediately
Set aside the beef

4. In a saucepan, place soy sauce, sake, sugar, mirin, water, dashi, ginger and onion, let it cook until the onion starts become well cook

5. Add beef back into the saucepan, stir with the sauce, let it cook for few mins
Then turn off the heat, let it stay on the stove to keep warm

6. When the rice is ready:
- Place the rice at the bottom of a serving bowl
- Place beef and onion onto the rice but leave the middle empty
- Crack the egg in the middle - egg white becomes white color but in liquid state
- Sprinkle spring onion and Shichimi

Enjoy!
