QUICK Nikujaga Recipe (肉じゃが- Japanese Meat & Potato Stew)

Easy to make, delicious, AND filling, it’s no wonder Nikujaga is a perennial favorite of home cooks throughout Japan. My version of this Japanese comfort food is loaded with melt-in-your-mouth tender slices of beef simmered together with sweet onions, and big chunks of potatoes and carrots. Although they’re not a traditional ingredient in Nikujaga, I like adding tomatoes to mine, because they add some natural sweetness, along with a boatload of umami, which eliminates the need to add dashi stock. Best of all, by precooking the potatoes and carrots in the microwave, I’ve managed to shave the cooking time for this humble stew in half! #japaneserecipe #nikujaga #meatandpotatoes SUBSCRIBE TO MY SECRET RECIPE STASH ▶ Your membership supports my channel, and you get exclusive recipes weekly.
