Scale
For the beef marinade
- 1/2 lb thinly sliced beef
- 1/2 tbsp ginger, grated
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1/2 tbsp hondashi
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 2 tbsp mirin
For the rice
- 1 cup rice
- Water
- 1/2 yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
For serving
- Beni shoga (optional)
- Green onion, thinly sliced
Instructions
- To a large bowl, combine the beef, ginger, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, hondashi, salt, sugar, and mirin to marinate. Set aside while you start the rice.
- Add the rice, water (you will use as much water as you normally would depending not the type of rice you are using), sliced onion, and 1 tablespoon soy sauce to your rice cooker. Start cooking.
- About halfway through cooking (for my rice cooker, this is about 15 minutes into start time – if your rice cooker doesn’t have a timer, don’t stress! Just add the beef about 15 minutes in), add the marinated beef over the partially cooked rice. Close the lid and continue cooking.
- Once the rice cooker finishes, mix the beef and onions with the rice.
- Top with beni shoga and sliced green onion.
