Ingredients:
4 medium potatoes ( about 450g)
200 g beef (I use thinly sliced fillet of either) or 200 g pork ( I use thinly sliced fillet of either)
1 tablespoon finely chopped gingerroot
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons sake
3 tablespoons soy sauce
Directions:
Peel potatoes and cut into 4-6 pieces.
Soak in water for 5 minutes.
Cut thinly sliced meat into 4-5 cm pieces.
Mix sugar, soy sauce, sake and ginger and bring to a boil.
Add the meat and bring to a boil again.
Add potatoes and water to cover, and place a lid (smaller than the saucepan) inside the pot, right on top the ingredients.
This is called the”dropped lid technique” and is used to stop the ingredients breaking up, whilst distributing the flavour without stirring.
Bring to a boil again, then simmer until the potatoes are cooked.
