Peel the onion, cut in half lengthwise, and slice thinly (about 1/4–3/8 inch thick). Cut the beef into bite-sized pieces.

Boil water and add the shirataki noodles to remove any odor. Drain in a colander and cut into easy-to-eat lengths.

Add vegetable oil to a pot and heat over medium-high. Sauté the beef until it starts to turn pale. Add the shirataki noodles and onions, and continue to sauté.

When the onions have softened, add the ingredients marked with ♢ (sugar, sake, soy sauce, water, dashi granules) in order. Stir quickly, cover with a lid, and reduce to medium-low heat.

*Be sure to cover with a lid.*

Simmer gently. If the liquid reduces too much, lower the heat and add about 1 tablespoon of water.

*Do not let it boil down completely.*

After 10–15 minutes, when it smells fragrant and the onions are cooked to your liking, it's ready.

Serve and enjoy!
