Improved Gyudon for Meal Prep

A bit of grated ginger and a dash of vinegar really takes a Gyudon up a notch! Putting the rice on top of the meat keeps it from becoming soggy sitting in the juices, and the rice acts as a splatter guard when it comes time to microwave the meal.

Ingredients

  • 2.5 lb beef
  • 3 medium onions
  • Few cloves of garlic
  • 100 ml soy sauce
  • 100 ml dashi
  • Water enough to cover the beef
  • Sugar and vinegar to taste
  • 8 Eggs
  • 3 lb Napa cabbage

Instructions

  • Cook the eggs ahead of time. I like to sous vide at 63 degrees for 45 minutes, but soft boiled is also nice.
  • Make rice. Wash and cut the Napa cabbage.
  • Cook Napa cabbage in the pan first, season to taste.
  • While Napa cabbage is cooking down, cut onions and gather sauce ingredients.
  • Once Napa cabbage is done, stir fry onions in the same plan until lightly browned.
  • Add beef and sauce ingredients, and stir until the beef is cooked. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  • Assemble and serve.
