NIKU JYAGA (JAPANESE BEEF AND POTATO STEW)



Niku Jyaga (Japanese Beef and Potato Stew) image

There's nothing extraordinary about meat and potatoes stewed in a sweet soy broth, and yet it's easy to find yourself taking just one more taste until half the pot is gone. Patience pays off though: niku jyaga tastes better the second day, when the potatoes are saturated with sauce. Every household makes it a little differently in Japan, and so the flavor is affectionately called "mother's taste." Saori Kurioka, a private chef in Brooklyn, cooks hers the same minimalist way her mother and grandmother did in Kobe, with just beef, potatoes, onion and carrot. She uses a wooden otoshibuta, a drop-lid that fits inside the pot, so the vegetables simmer and steam evenly as the broth slowly concentrates, but the same thing can be achieved with parchment paper. Beveling the edges of the potatoes with a peeler keeps them from crumbling as the jostle around the simmering pot, but skip it if you're rushed or impatient.

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 medium waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold (about 2 1/2 pounds)
2 medium carrots, peeled
2 small onions (about 1 pound), peeled
1 piece dried kombu, about 8 inches by 5 inches, broken in half (optional)
1/4 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons mirin
3 tablespoons sake
3 tablespoons raw or turbinado sugar
8 ounces thinly sliced, well-marbled beef (see note)

Steps:

  • Peel potatoes and cut each into 4 to 6 pieces, so they are relatively uniform in size. Bevel the edges of each piece with a vegetable peeler. Soak in cold water for about 10 minutes to remove some starch.
  • Cut carrots in rangiri: Hold the knife at a diagonal, and rotate carrot quarter turns to cut irregular, multifaceted chunks. Cut each onion into 6 to 8 wedges, about 3/4 inch wide. Cut beef into 2-inch pieces.
  • Prepare a drop-lid for a 3- or 4-quart heavy-bottomed pot: Cut a circle of parchment paper about 1 inch smaller than the diameter of the pot, and cut a 1/2-inch hole in its center.
  • Drain and rinse potatoes. Add to pot with carrots, onions and 1 1/2 cups water (it will not fully cover the vegetables). Tuck kombu (if using) into the water. Bring to a boil, then discard kombu. Add soy sauce, mirin, sake and sugar. Add beef, stirring to distribute.
  • Place parchment lid directly on top of vegetables and liquid, and simmer - don't boil - stirring occasionally, for 20 to 25 minutes, until potatoes are very tender. Turn off heat, discard parchment, and rest for at least 30 minutes (overnight is even better) to allow the potatoes to soak up the seasoning. Reheat, and serve with white rice, or a frosty beer.

NIKUJAGA (JAPANESE MEAT & POTATOES)



Nikujaga (Japanese Meat & Potatoes) image

The best kind of Japan comfort food, and it's really not very hard to make. This recipe inspired by http://justonecookbook.com/recipes/nikujaga/, the best version I've found so far. Info about how to make dashi (essential for most Japanese dishes) can be found on the internet, including here: http://justonecookbook.com/how-to/how-to-make-dashi-jiru/. I use the instant dashi powder packets or make my own.

Provided by Maggie

Categories     Vegetable

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large onion
1/2 carrot
2 medium potatoes
225 g thinly sliced meat (1/2 pound usually beef, but pork is fine, too)
1 (5 -7 ounce) package shirataki noodles
4 snow peas (can use green beans)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cups dashi stock (check your Asian market, make your own or substitute beef broth)
4 tablespoons mirin
4 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons sake
1 tablespoon sugar

Steps:

  • Prepare the dashi or beef broth.
  • Prepare veggies: Cut onion into 10-12 wedges. Peel and cut the carrot in half lengthwise and then cut diagonally into about 1" pieces. Cut the potatoes into large bite-sized chunks (they may cook down some) and put in water to prevent color change.
  • Remove string from snow peas and boil for 30 seconds and set aside.
  • Rinse and drain shirataki noodles and boil for 1 minute. You may wish to cut them in half. Set aside.
  • Cut sliced meat in half, if necessary.
  • Heat oil in a large pot and add the onion and the meat and cook until the meat is no longer pink.
  • Add the potatoes, carrots and shirataki noodles. Then add the dashi stock and the Seasonings (again, may want to add a little more of each for more flavor - taste and adjust) and bring to a boil.
  • Turn down heat, skim off any scum and place an "otoshibuta" (or piece of aluminum foil, folded round to fit in the pan on top of the mixture and with a hole poked in the middle for ventilation) and simmer about 15 minutes or until vegetables are cooked.
  • Turn off the heat, remove the "otoshibuta" or foil and let stand 30 minutes before heating up to serve, or plan to serve the next day.
  • Once heated again, top with snow peas and serve.
