Beef Gyudon
This dish is found all over Japan and is oh-so-simple to make! It has savory, rich flavors from the dashi but Sarah's favorite part is the sweet onion cooked in the soup. This meal is perfect for a quick, filling, and comforting dinner.

Preparation
- Make the soup base: In a medium bowl, combine the water, dashi stock powder, mirin, sake, soy sauce, and sugar and stir until the solids are fully dissolved.
- Make the gyudon: Pour the soup base into a large pan over medium heat, then add the sliced onion and beef. Cover, bring to a simmer, and cook for 3-5 minutes, until the beef starts to cook through.
- Uncover the pan, skim off any scum from the surface, and continue to boil for about 4 minutes, until the liquid thickens just slightly. Stir in ¼ cup of the green onions.
- Add the rice to serving bowls, then ladle in the beef and soup mixture. Top with the remaining green onions, fried garlic, onsen eggs, sesame seeds, and chili crisp.
- Enjoy!
