Dashi

It's kind of like a Japanese stir fry using root vegetables and a very thin, sweet sauce.

 Ingredients:
1/2 lb thinly sliced beef loin cut into 1 ½” pieces   
4 potatoes, cut into quarters
1 onion, cut into wedges
1/4 lb carrots, cut into bite size chunks   
1/2 package shirataki noodles
2 1/2 C dashi soup   
2 T mirin
2 T sugar   
4 T soy sauce
1 T of vegetable oil   

Heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in a deep pot and saute beef quickly on high heat. Add onion, carrot, potato, and shirataki in the pan and saute together. Pour stock in and bring to a boil. Turn down the heat to low and skim off any foam or impurities that rise to the surface. Simmer until potatoes are softened. Add sugar and mirin and put a drop-lid. Simmer for about 5 minutes and add soy sauce. Simmer until the liquid are almost gone.
