Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes (about 450g)
- 200 g beef (I use thinly sliced fillet of either) or 200 g pork (I use thinly sliced fillet of either)
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped gingerroot
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons sake
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
Method
- Peel potatoes and cut into 4-6 pieces.
- Soak in water for 5 minutes.
- Cut thinly sliced meat into 4-5 cm pieces.
- Mix sugar, soy sauce, sake and ginger and bring to a boil.
- Add the meat and bring to a boil again.
- Add potatoes and water to cover, and place a lid (smaller than the saucepan) inside the pot, right on top the ingredients.
- This is called the"dropped lid technique" and is used to stop the ingredients breaking up, whilst distributing the flavour without stirring.
- Bring to a boil again, then simmer until the potatoes are cooked.
