Steps to make Japanese meat and potato stew or Nikujaga (肉じゃが)

1. Peel potato skin and cut it into about 1-1/2 inch cube, soak cut up potatoes in water to prevent browning.
2. Peel carrot and cut into smaller pieces. I rotate carrot as I cut so there’s more surface exposed. It helps when absorbing flavor of the marinade.
3. Cut onion into eight equal portions.
4. I bought the pre sliced beef. You can cut your own meat. Buy the best cut of beef and thinly slice it. The thinner the better.
5. String the green bean if you use this green veggie then cut to about 1-1/2 inch long.
6. Boil shirataki in boiling water for about 3 minutes to get rid of konjac smell.
7. Add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in the pan. Add sliced beef and stir fry on high heat until half cooked. Add onion and stir until there’s fragrant. Add potato and carrot then mix. Add sugar, soy sauce, mirin and sake and mix together. Add shiratake and mix well.
8. Lower heat to medium high and cook for about 3 minutes with lid on. After 3 minutes open the lid and scoop out the scum or foam.
9. Cover lid and cook for another 15 minutes on medium heat. When 15 minutes is up, open lid and add green bean on top, cover lid and cook for another 2 minutes.
10. Open the lid, stir and serve. The flavor of nikujaga is best after sitting for 30 minutes or overnight because the flavor will be fully absorbed by the ingredients.
