Hey guys! I just want to say a big thank you for supporting my channel! It’s amazing the support you guys have given me and I hope I can keep teaching you simple and healthy Japanese recipes!
Today I want to show you a dish considered Japanese fast food - Gyudon! (also known as a beef bowl) but this time let’s make it a bit more luxury than the fast food version, okay?
I hope you enjoy and tell me what recipes you want to see in the comments!

Ingredients:
- 200g Beef Loin (Thinly Sliced)
- 140ml water
- 100ml of mirin
- 60ml of soy sauce
- 2tbsp of brown sugar
- a small bit of dashi fish stock (optional)
- ½ Onion
- ½ a washed burdock root
-1 egg (per Gyudon) - for onsen tamago
- 480g of rice (for 3 portions), 650ml of water.
How to make:
- Add 140ml water, 100ml of mirin, 60ml of soy sauce, 2 tbsp of brown sugar and a sprinkle of dashi fish stock into the pan you will use to cook the beef
- Cut half a root of washed burdock into small slices and add to the water straight away (to avoid it oxidizing) ginger can also be substituted instead of burdock
- Cut half an onion into thin slices and add to the liquid as well
- Turn to a high heat with the lid on
- Once it starts to boil, add your thinly sliced beef and cook for a few minutes until cooked through
- Let the Beef Stew in the sauce for around 5 minutes
- Serve on top of your rice!
If you want to make onsen tamago:
- Heat up water in a saucepan to 65C or 150F (don’t let it boil!)
- Add your eggs to the saucepan and leave for 30 minutes
If you want to make your own rice without a rice cooker (For 3 portions) :
-Thoroughly wash 480g of rice until the water runs clear
- Leave the rice soaking in water for at least 30 minutes
- Add the rice to a pot or saucepan with 650ml of water (this ratio may seem unusual, but in Japan we measure rice in ‘Go’ - which is 150g)
- Put on a lid and heat up the rice until it begins to boil, turn the heat down to medium-low and wait for 10 minutes
- After 10 minutes or once the water has disappeared from the rice, turn off the heat and let steam in the pot for another 10 minutes
