Chef’s Tips
The beef used on this occasion was Wagyu Beef with a lot of fat.
So the cooling of the soup is very important to remove the fat.
The other point is to maintain the shape for the carrots and potatoes.
If you have a pressure cooker this will not be a problem, but
if not you must be careful to separate them in a different bowl.
If you use Royal Blue as potatoes it will make it much easier.
Instead of using sake and sugar, you can also use mirin sweetened sake.
If this is the case use 200ml of mirin. If you use mirin, this will make it sweeter and a great match to rice.
Using water and soup stock instead of bonito soup is also possible.
Chef’s Comment
When beer is used, the dish becomes bitter and the flavour becomes much deeper.
The beef will become tenderer as well. With an orthodox, not too sweet, simple and taste you will love.
