Hi, I’m Francis,
the host of this show "Cooking with Dog."
Today, we’re making filling Gyudon with lots of vegetables.
Lightly boil the shirataki and okra separately from each other beforehand.
First, cut the long shirataki noodles into shorter lengths.
Trim off the firm skin around the cap
and cut the okra into bite-size pieces.
Next, remove the root end of the onion.
Detach the layers and slice them along the grain.
Slice the center part as well.
As for the carrot, slice it into 5cm (2”) slices.
The king oyster mushroom will shrink when cooked
so cut it into 8cm (3.1”) slices.
You can also use shimeji, shiitake or enokitake instead.
Now, let’s make the vegetable gyudon.
Combine the dashi stock, sugar,
soy sauce,
sake
and mirin.
Add the shredded ginger root
and turn on the burner.
Lightly stir the broth.
Add the shirataki noodles,
onion,
king oyster mushroom
and carrot.
Let the ingredients submerge in the broth
and cook until the carrot softens.
You can also use a long green onion sliced diagonally
instead of the regular onion.
Now, loosen up the beef slices
and place them into the broth.
If you’re worried about the amount of fat,
you can lightly parboil the beef
to reduce the excess fat and any unwanted flavor.
Make sure to also check out our previous gyudon video.
Then, remove the foam.
When all of the redness in the meat has just disappeared,
add the okra to warm it up
and then turn off the burner.
Now, it is ready.
Place the fresh steamed rice in a bowl
and add the shirataki,
onion,
mushroom,
carrot
and okra.
Cover the rest of the rice
with a generous amount of the beef slices.
Ladle a small amount of the broth over the beef.
Finally, garnish with the beni shoga, pickled ginger.
A tip to making the beef tender is to avoid overcooking.
When the red meat has just turned brown,
the beef will be tender and delicious.
The meat is so tender and the vegetables and shirataki have absorbed the savory beef broth.
Delicious!
If the shirataki noodles are not available,
leave them out
and slightly increase the amount of other vegetables.
Good luck in the kitchen!
