Original Recipe Yield 4 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 8 snow peas
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/4 pound sirloin steak, thinly sliced
  • 4 potatoes, cut into bite sized pieces
  • 2 cups dashi soup
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup sake
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 onion, chopped

Directions

  1. Put the snow peas in a small saucepan with enough water to cover; bring to a boil and immediately remove from heat. Drain and set aside.
  2. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook the beef in the oil until browned. Add the potatoes; cook and stir until soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir the dashi soup, soy sauce, sake, and sugar into the mixture; simmer for 10 minutes.
  3. Reduce heat to low and scatter the chopped onion over the mixture; allow to simmer until the liquid is nearly completely evaporated, about 15 minutes more. Top the mixture with the snow peas to serve.
