I was working on recipes that used our family favorite Sweet and Spicy Sauce. At first I tried it without mayonnaise, and it was 'just ok', not worth writing up as a recipe. But once I added mayonnaise it became a dish I was proud of, so I uploaded it here.-Use a thick, durable kitchen paper towel that holds up to heat well for Step 2.-Katakuriko absorbs a lot of oil, so if there isn't enough oil add some more.-This is delicious as a donburi rice bowl topping.

I created this recipe because I wanted to make something different using tuna and yamaimo yam.Lotus root is optional, but if you are using it, fry it until it becomes crispy. That adds a nice accent to the dish. If you decide not to use it, fry the garlic in Step 3 instead. Please don't cook the tuna too long. Cook it briefly until browned, and serve on a plate right away.The sauce will thicken in a short time, so please be careful not to burn it. Recipe by Shinsan

Since the lucky ingredient of the week is beef, I'm sharing another simple and delicious recipe with you.

I saw on TV that lean beef is good for muscle building and burning fat, and there happened to be a lot of beef steak piled up on sale, so I tried making this.It doesn't have the softness of marbled beef, but it's got a good texture and flavor.Since you'll be cooking the onions in the yogurt and the meat's juices there's no need for preseasoning.I say this softens tough beef, but since it starts out as tough you're still not going to get that marbled beef softness.

The recipes I saw on Cookpad for simmered hamburgers didn't have sugar, so they were all a bit too sour for me...I wanted to have something a little sweeter for kids, so I tried it this way.These basic hamburgers are delicious and great for locomoco rice bowls.It's hard to cook potatoes or carrots all the way through this way, so first heat in the microwave, then simmer.Simmering the hamburgers will ensure they're not under-cooked, but they will be soft and juicy.

Tofu is such a great source of protein.

Sweet onions are the most delicious served as thickly sliced "steaks" using this method. They look great and are really tasty.By adding an ice cube, the onions will steam slowly and increase in sweetness. Recipe by Matsujun

I based this recipe on Okuen-sensei's Oil Marinade Chicken recipe. I just replaced the chicken breast with beef. I did have some breast meat but it was quite dried out and I just wondered if beef would taste similar. If I eat well-done steak in a restaurant it's hard to chew and I thought cheap meat would also end up that way but somehow I made it tender.If you use a meat that contains no oil such as Aussie beef, the beef will completely suck up an oil-based marinade and the dashi stock with it in about half a day. By dusting with flour, it provides the meat with a thin film that locks the juices and moisture within the meat. Recipe by toshiebaba
