How do they make beef bowl?

Question:

I live in Yokosuka, Japan. They have this place that the Americans call "Beef Bowl" on Blue Street. The actual name, I'm not sure. It's a bowl of rice with very thin sliced beef on top. It's the best thing in the entire world. I was wondering if anyone knew how to make it?

Answer:

Gyudon or beef bowl is a very popular item served by some of Japan`s fast food restaurants and is easy to make at home. Here is the easy to cook recipe.

Preparation Time: 5-10 mins

Ingredients
• 6-8 cups hot cooked rice
• 225g thinly sliced beef
• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 3 tbsp vegetable oil
• 2 tbsp fresh ginger juice

Sauce:
• 1 cup water
• 1/3 cup dark soy sauce
• 1/3 cup mirin

Method

1. Boil plain white rice
2. In a large frying pan, heat vegetable oil over a high heat
3. Cook the onion for a few minutes until soft
4. Add the beef slices and cook for another minute or until the meat is no longer red
5. Mix the ingredients for the sauce together and add sauce to pan
6. Continue to cook for another minute and then remove from heat

In Japan, a lot of people like to eat their gyudon with pickled ginger and top it with a lightly beaten raw egg mixed into the rice.
