Ingredients

  • 200 g Konjac noodles (shirataki)
  • 130 g Beef chuck
  • 1 tbsp Japanese soy sauce (koikuchi shoyu)
  • 2 tsp Mirin
  • 80 g Firm tofu (optional)
  • 40 g Shimeji mushrooms (optional)
  • ½ Japanese leek (negi) (optional)
  • 1 Egg (optional)
  • 2 tsp Neutral oil (optional)

Method

  1. Slice the beef as thin as the knife will let you, cut the negi into long diagonals, pull the shimeji into clumps and block the tofu.
  2. Drain and rinse the konjac noodles, then dry-fry them in a bare pan until the last water hisses off and they whistle against the base.
  3. Wipe the oil round a hot skillet and lay the beef out flat, turning it the moment the underside greys and the fat starts to run.
  4. Pour in the soy and mirin, let them boil up around the beef, then bed the tofu, negi and shimeji into the corners of the pan.
  5. Slide the dried konjac noodles into the liquid at the front of the pan and simmer everything gently until the negi slumps and the tofu is hot through.
  6. Break the egg into a cold bowl and beat it loose. Eat straight from the skillet, dropping each forkful through the raw egg on the way.
