Nimono (stew with potatoes)

Each dish of the nimono category is cooked exclusively over low heat. Nimono is a meat stew that resembles a common European dish, but sake, soy sauce and sugar give it a special aroma and flavor unique to Japanese cuisine.

Ingredients

Beef or veal - 450 grams, potatoes - 450 grams, carrots - 1 pc, large onion - 1 pc, vegetable oil - 2 tbsp. spoons, enough water to cover all the ingredients in the saucepan, soy sauce - 3 tbsp. spoons, sugar - 2 tbsp. spoons, sake - 2 tbsp. spoons, green peas - 95 grams, white rice for a side dish.

How to cook

We wrap the meat in a small piece of cling film so that it squeezes it strongly. Put the wrapped meat in the freezer for two hours.

Prompt! Freezing food is a very good way to cut it into very thin slices, be it meat or fish, or even some types of fruit.

Take the meat out of the freezer and cut into thin slices 1/2 cm thick. Set aside.
Peel the potatoes and cut into small pieces. We clean the carrots and cut into centimeter rings. We also peel the onion and cut it into slightly thinner pieces than the rest of the vegetables. We put it aside.

Pour 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil into a saucepan and heat up. In the same saucepan, lightly fry the meat slices on both sides over high heat until they acquire a characteristic color. Add onion pieces to the roasting pan and leave over low heat until they soften. When the onion changes color, add the chopped potatoes. We also add the prepared carrots.

Add enough water so that all the stew ingredients are underneath, but do not fill the pan completely. As soon as the stew boils, remove the foam from the broth.

Pour 3 tablespoons of soy sauce into the stew. We also add sugar and sake to the stew and leave to cook. We continue to boil over low heat until the potatoes and carrots are cooked. To check the readiness, pierce the potatoes or carrots with a wooden stick. The stick should pass gently without encountering resistance.

Add the peas and cook for another 3 minutes, then put out the fire. You can let the stew steep under the lid for several hours to soak up the flavor of the sauce. We warm up the food before serving.
Serve the stew on a platter. White rice is very suitable for this dish as a side dish. Decorate with fresh herbs (optional). Enjoy your meal!
