Potato and Beef- “Niku-Jaga”

One of the most popular and traditional Japanese cuisine. This dish is usually cooked at home and tastes different by families. I use beef but some people use pork. Meat should be thinly sliced. You can add shiitake mushrooms if you prefer. “Shirataki” is a noodle type of konjac. If you couldn’t find shirataki, use ordinary konjac and slice like strings.
