Konnichiwa.
I can’t believe it’s already September!
Time flies so fast!
I’m still struggling with tough work of my first mid-term in Australia.
but even if I’m busy I am eager to eat something healthy & yummy X)
Today’s menu that I’m going to introduce is “Nikujyaga”. (Stewed tasty potatoes and meat with veges)
Nikujyaga is one of the most common meals at home in Japan.
which normally is cooked in a pot.
but if you use a microwave, it will take just 15 minutes until it becomes ready to serve.
I changed some ingredients such as meat from thin sliced pork to bacon,
to make it easier in Australia.
Basic ingredients are 3 potatoes, 2 bacons (normally sliced pork or beef),1/2 carrots, 1/2 onions and 3-4 snow peas.
Yes, you can get all of them at supermarkets.
Step1 Please cut bacons and vegetables into pieces. (Tips: don’t cut potatoes too small)
If you have washed baby potatoes, it is not necessary to peel the skins 🙂
Step 2
Put potatoes, carrots, & onions on the plate, add 50ml of water.
cover it with the microwave cling wrap and heat it up with 900w for 3 minutes.
Step3
Mix 50ml of mentsuyu (available at Asian super markets) & 150ml of water.
Add snow peas and bacons
& gently pour it over the vegetables.
Step 4 Cover with wrap again, and heat it up with 600W for 15 minutes 🙂
Step 5: Heat additional snow peas & carrots for decoration with a little water, if you want (wrapped, 900W, 1 minute).
Step 6 Put snow peas and carrots on the top of the Nikujyaga.
For this recipe, I actually skipped all troublesome steps to measure sugar, sake, soysauce, dashi-soup by using only “mentsuyu”.
You will be amazed because it actually tastes the same.
I’m glad if it helps to save your time when you want to try Nikujyaga 😀 !!
