I often use lentils as a substitute for ground meat.
I wanted to eat nikujaga so I made this vegan version.

Lentils have a particular smell to them, but rinsing them before boiling, then removing the lid to cook out the smell should take care of it.
Add shirataki noodles to make a more authentic nikujaga flair. Recipe by goodaroro
