Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings
- pasta 1 serving
- beef short rib 150g
- minced garlic 1 tablespoon
- anchovy sauce 2 tablespoons
- tonkatsu sauce 2 tablespoons
- sugar 1 tablespoon
- green onion to taste
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
- red pepper powder to taste
Recipe 🍳
- Boil pasta in vigorously boiling water with a pinch of salt until al dente, then drain and set aside.
- In a dry pan, lay out beef short rib 150g evenly and sauté with minced garlic 1 tablespoon, a pinch of salt, and pepper until the meat fat renders and the meat turns golden brown.
- Since beef short rib cooks quickly, add the cooked pasta directly into the pan once the meat is no longer pink and has developed a rich aroma.
- Add anchovy sauce 2 tablespoons, tonkatsu sauce 2 tablespoons, and sugar 1 tablespoon according to the recipe.
- Stir over high heat to ensure the beef fat and savory-sweet sauce fully coat the pasta strands.
- If the pasta becomes too dry and thick during stir-frying, add a splash of water or reserved pasta water to restore moisture.
- Plate the finished pasta neatly, sprinkle finely chopped green onion evenly for color, then finish with a light dusting of pepper and red pepper powder.
- Cook pasta in boiling water, drain, and set aside.
- Sauté beef short rib, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a pan to render fat, then add cooked pasta.
- Add anchovy sauce, tonkatsu sauce, and sugar; stir until moist and well-coated, then garnish with green onion and red pepper powder.
Cooking tips 💡
- When boiling pasta in a pan instead of a pot, the edges may burn if they touch the flame directly—immediately push the pasta completely under the water after adding it.
- If beef short rib is too expensive, use affordable sirloin or marbled pork belly with ample fat to achieve a similar rich meaty oil flavor.
