Shin Dong-min's Gyu Don

A traditional beef bowl with deep, savory flavor that faithfully recreates the taste of Yoshinoya, a famous Japanese rice bowl restaurant.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • If you prefer less sweetness, reduce the sugar to 100–120g.
  • Do not overcook the meat; keep it tender by cooking it just enough in the sauce, like a shabu-shabu.
  • If young ginger (benishoga) is hard to find, it pairs wonderfully with Korean cabbage kimchi instead.

Recommended for

  • Those who miss the authentic taste of Japanese gyu don they enjoyed during their study abroad days.
  • Home cooks looking to achieve deep, restaurant-quality umami using a single versatile sauce.
