Quick Sukiyaki Style Beef Donburi

"This is adapted from the Just Bento Cookbook, by Makiko Itoh. Her recipe uses enoki and shitake mushrooms, and twice the sugar that I've called for here. I love this over brown rice in a bento box, but it's equally good straight from the pan over a bowl of whatever rice you love. While I've listed this as one serving, I have a fairly modest appetite and will serve this as two servings."

directions

  • Bring a very small saucepan of water to a boil. Add the snow peas and cook for 1 minute, until the color turns very bright. Drain and set aside.
  • In a small skillet, heat the oil. Add the onion, and saute until it starts to soften.
  • Add the mushrooms, and saute for 3 to 4 minutes, until they start to soften.
  • Add the beef and sugar, stir to combine all of the ingredients, and cook until the beef starts to brown.
  • Add the dashi, soy sauce, mirin, and sake; and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes over high heat.
  • ***If using in a bento, place the meat mixture in a bowl and allow to cool before packing in the box on top of the rice. Garnish with the blanched snow peas and shichimi pepper.
  • If serving immediately, place the cooked rice in a deep bowl, then top with the meat mixture and some of the cooking liquid. Place the snow peas on top and sprinkle with the shichimi pepper.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live near Seattle, WA with my husband of 11 years and our pet ferrets. We're lucky enough to own a home with a big, south facing yard which is great for entertaining. It also allows me to have a big vegetable garden where I grow most of my own herbs and a lot of the vegetables we eat in the summer, as well as a bunch to share with family and friends. In my professional life, I'm an accountant- but what I really love to do is cook and eat! Most of my ability is self-taught. I love to experiment with new recipes and techniques, most of which I get from watching way too much food tv and reading foodie magazines. Recently I decided to start a personal chef business and have cooked for a few clients. I love the challenge of designing a menu to fit a family's specific tastes and needs, and then cooking it for them to enjoy. For me, cooking is an expression of love. Everyone needs to eat, but food is more than just fuel for the body, it can nurture and comfort ~ give us a memory from childhood, or a retreat when we feel ill. I always think of the people who I'm cooking for when I make a dish, and there is no better compliment than when someone enjoys the food I've made especially for them. I also like to do OAMC- style cooking, but instead of using it mainly to get dinner on the table, I focus on getting lunch in the bag! Eating out is far too expensive in both dollars and nutrition to make a habit of, yet I want a hot, satisfying meal to enjoy in the middle of the day. Cookin ahead allows me to have great food, without sacrificing either my dollars or my waistline. <img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/Animation6.gif"><img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/participantbannerzwt5.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Participation.jpg"><img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg"><img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PACfall08partic.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/AMpageSticker.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r317/j_welcome/pics2/food/PRMRcopy.jpg"><img src="http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj81/HokiesLady65/Recipezaar%20Album/iplaytagin.jpg">[IMG] http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e95/momaphet/Food/banner10.jpg[/IMG]
