Simple Standard Nikujaga
I arranged a recipe that my mother taught me. Since pouring the nikujaga juices over rice is so delicious, I always make sure there is some left after simmering My family loves shirataki noodles, so we use 1 large bag. If only using 400 ml of dashi stock, use 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons sugar, 2 tablespoons mirin, and 3 tablespoons sake.
Step 2: Boil the green beans in salted water. Adjust the flavor to suit your tastes. You can also use water and instant dashi granules for the dashi stock. I recommend using a deep frying pan to make this because the meat won't stick to the bottom of the pan as much, so it's more convenient. You could also cook everything in the frying pan and then transfer to a pot. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Peel the potatoes and cut into 3-4 pieces. Slice the carrot into half moon slices. Cut the onion in half and then slice into 1 cm wide pieces.
- 2
Steam the shirataki and then cut into bite-sized lengths. Boil the green beans and cut into 3-4 cm pieces.
- 3
Heat oil in a pot or deep frying pan. Cook the meat. Add the carrot, onion, potatoes, and shirataki.
- 4
Add the dashi stock and bring it to a boil. Add the sugar and sake. Let it boil for 3 minutes. Add in the remaining ● ingredients, cover with a drop-lid, and simmer for 15 minutes.
- 5
Once the potatoes have become soft and the liquid has evaporated, stop the heat. Add the green beans. Serve in a bowl.
- 6
Step 3: Only add enough dashi stock to just cover the ingredients. The amount of potatoes and onion may change, but pouring in 500 ml of dashi will be fine.
- 7
I think it tastes best when the potatoes are cooked that they're about to fall apart. Make sure there is still some liquid left at the end.

Easy, Oil-Free Nikujaga with Ground Pork Easy, Oil-Free Nikujaga with Ground Pork
In order to economize on the normal pork nikujaga, I omitted the shirataki konnyaku noodles and used ground pork.After about 10-15 minutes of simmering, stop the heat and leave it as-is to finish cooking with the residual heat, which will allow the flavors to settle and blend in.If you will be turning leftovers into croquettes, make sure to completely drain off any excess moisture. Then just mash the potatoes, arrange the shapes, coat with flour, dip in egg, cover with panko and deep-fry. Recipe by Chasama -

My Too-Easy Nikujaga (Japanese Simmered Meat and Potatoes) My Too-Easy Nikujaga (Japanese Simmered Meat and Potatoes)
I bought a pan with a tight fitting lid about 20 years ago for making nikujaga. Since then, my nikujaga method has gotten pretty slapdash, but it's still really delicious.Being that my pan is so old, that probably means that if your lid is newer with ventilation holes, you need to be careful not to let it burn.You only need to mix it up three times while it cooks - at the start, halfway through, and at the end. Draw out the water from the vegetables first, then turn up the heat to medium. When there's almost no water left in the pan turn the heat down very low.By adding salt at the end, the flavors really come together. Recipe by Mihomiho mama recipes -
