Cooking Steps
- 1
Thinly slice the onion into 5mm strips. Cut the beef belly into bite-sized pieces.
Advice : Cutting the onion along the fiber prevents it from falling apart too much and leaves a nice texture.
IngredientsOnion 1/2Thinly sliced beef belly 200g - 2
In a small pot, add water, soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar, dashi granules, and grated ginger. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
Advice : Boiling the sauce evaporates the alcohol from the sake and mirin, making the flavor more rounded and mellow.
IngredientsWater 200mlSoy sauce 2 tbspMirin 2 tbspSake 1 tbspSugar 1 tbspJapanese dashi granules 1/2 tspGrated ginger 2cm - 3
Add the onion to the boiling sauce, cover with a lid, and simmer over medium-low heat for 5 minutes.
Advice : Simmering the onion first allows it to absorb the flavor without overcooking and toughening the beef.

Add the beef and simmer for another 3 minutes, skimming off any foam (scum) from the surface.
Advice : Rather than dumping all the beef at once, spread the slices out as you add them so they cook evenly.

Fill bowls with warm rice, top with the beef and onions, and pour over plenty of the sauce. Garnish with red pickled ginger if desired.
Advice : Try adding a raw egg or shichimi togarashi for extra flavor. Personally, I love adding extra sauce!
IngredientsWarm rice 400gRed pickled ginger (Beni shoga) 10g
