Top 5 dishes made from small piece Ginger *sliced into thin strips
1 . Beef Mince Gyū Don
Beef Mince Gyū Don
‘Gyū Don’ is a rice bowl dish. Thinly sliced Beef and Onion simmered in a sweet soy sauce flavoured dashi stock is placed on rice. It is one of the most popular dishes in Japan. Probably every family has its own recipe. In Melbourne where I live, thinly sliced Beef is not widely available. When I cook Gyū Don, I have to slice a block of Beef thinly using a knife by myself, and it is getting harder to do with my aching hands. Here is the Minced Beef version. Super easy and anyone can cook it.
Ingredient
500 g
Beef Mince
1-2
Onions
2 tablespoons
Sugar
2 tablespoons
Mirin
4-5 tablespoons
Soy Sauce
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Heat Dashi Stock, Sugar, Mirin and Soy Sauce in a frypan or a large sauce pan over a medium heat, add Onion and Ginger.
* Step 2
When it’s started boiling, place Beef Mince on top the Onion, breaking down into small pieces using your fingers, and cook for 10 minutes OR until Onion is soft.
* Step 3
Make some room to add Harusame Noodles into the sauce, and cook until the Noodles turn transparent. Harusame Noodles will suck up the sauce.
* Step 4
Half fill a bowl with freshly Cooked Rice and cover it with the Beef mixture. Serve with Pickle Ginger if you like. Today I sprinkled with some Shichimi (Japanese Chilli Spice Mix).

2 . Curry Flavoured Nikujaga
Curry Flavoured Nikujaga
‘Nikujaga’ is simmered Meat (Niku) and Potatoes (Jagaimo). I cook it with a variety of Meat, and my family members love the dish. Soy Sauce, Mirin and Sugar are used to season ‘Nikujaga’, but I added some Curry Powder today. Curry flavour can go quite well with the sweet soy sauce flavour.
Ingredient
4
Potatoes
1-2
Onions
300-400 g
Thinly Sliced Beef (OR Pork, Chicken)
1 tablespoon
Sugar
1 tablespoon
Mirin
2-3 tablespoons
Soy Sauce
2 teaspoons
Curry Powder
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Cut the thinly sliced Beef (OR Pork, Chicken) into bite size, Potatoes into 4 to 5cm pieces, and Onion(s) 1-2cm strips. If you add Carrot, cut smaller than Potato pieces as it takes longer to cook.
* Step 2
Place Potato, Carrot, Onion and Ginger into a pot and just cover with Dashi Stock (OR Water). You would need 400 to 500ml. Add Sugar, Mirin, Soy Sauce and Curry Powder, cook over high heat.
* Step 3
When it starts boiling, add Beef (OR Pork, Chicken), cover with a lid, and cook until Potato is soft, stirring occasionally. *Note: Lower the heat if required, but I usually keep the high heat.
* Step 4
When Potato is cooked, remove the lid, and cook until the sauce is thickened, shaking and tossing occasionally.
* Step 5
Pour into a large serving bowl and serve.

3 . Snapper Takikomi Gohan
Snapper Takikomi Gohan
Red Seabream Snapper is a fish that is called ‘Madai’ in Japan, and it is known as an auspicious food. The fish is often served for New Year’s celebration and special occasions to celebrate the events. This ‘Snapper Takikomigohan’ is also a quite special rice dish, but you don’t need to wait for a special occasion to arrive. I cooked this dish today because Snapper was on special at ALDI.
Ingredient
1/4 teaspoon
Salt
2 tablespoons
Sake
1 tablespoon
Soy Sauce
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Place Snapper fillets, with/without skin, in a deep plate or bowl, sprinkle with Salt, Sake, Soy Sauce and sliced Ginger, and marinate the fish for 30 minutes. *Note: You may wish to cover and rest in the fridge on a hot day.
* Step 2
Wash Rice by stirring it thoroughly in water with your hand and drain the water. Repeat this a few more times until water flows through clear. Drain the rice and place it into the rice cooker’s inner pot.
* Step 3
Transfer the Snapper fillets from the marinade to a plate, pour the marinade with the ginger strips over the rice, add the Dashi Stock up to the 2-cups-marking. You may not need to use all of Dashi Stock. Place Snapper fillets on top.
* Step 4
Press ‘COOK’ button to start cooking. When the rice is cooked, let it steamed for 10 minutes. Then loosen and mix gently.
* Step 5
Enjoy with some toppings of your choice, such as finely chopped Spring Onion, Nori or Toasted Sesame Seeds.
