Hey guys. Welcome to another episode of Hack You! If you're craving Japanese food tonight, here's a quick recipe for Gyudon or Japanese Beef Rice Bowl. The only hard part in cooking Japanese cuisine is getting ingredients (only big supermarkets and select Japanese stores have them). But once you have the set: dashi, mirin, sake, and Kikkoman soy sauce, you can actually cook so many easy Japanese dishes at home.

GYUDON

INGREDIENTS:

1 CUP MIRIN
1/2 CUP SAKE
1 TBSP  BROWN SUGAR
1/4 TSP DASHI POWDER
2 TBSP KIKKOMAN SOY SAUCE
1 MEDIUM WHITE ONION, SLICED
400 GRAMS BEEF STRIPS, THINLY SLICED (RIB EYE OR CHUCK)
1 SMALL STALK SCALLION, THINLY SLICED
1 EGG YOLK
1 PINCH SESAME SEEDS
2 CUPS STEAMED WHITE RICE 

PROCEDURE:

1. IN A PAN WITH LOW-MEDIUM HEAT, COMBINE MIRIN, SAKE, BROWN SUGAR, DASHI POWDER, AND SOY SAUCE. MIX UNTIL SUGAR IS DISSOLVED.
2. ADD ONIONS INTO THE PAN. COOK FOR 3 MINUTES. 
3. ADD THE BEEF SLICES. COOK AND FLIP UNTIL BROWNED. THIN SLICES WILL TAKE AROUND 7 MINUTES. (NOTE: BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVERCOOK SO THE MEAT WON’T TOUGHEN). TURN OFF HEAT.
