Lamb, Konyaku and tofu

Yesterday I found some nice, finely sliced, New Zealand lamb, so I cooked this up in celebration.

A big handful of sliced lamb along with about the same amount of shredded konyaku (rinsed and boiled for a couple of minutes) cooked over medium heat with a little oil until half cooked.

Then I add a cake of firm tofu cut into cubes and half a bunch of green vegetables and let it cook.

When it is almost done, pour over a mixture of:

 a cup of water

1/4 cup sugar

1/4 cup sake

1/4 cup soy sauce

1/8 cup mirin

a big pinch of salt

Serve it up with chopped green chives or spring onions over rice with a little grated daikon.

Of course you can substitute any ingredients you like, just keep to similar ideas and you can’t go wrong.

swirl it all around

    This looks wonderful and simple. One question for you, do you use Alcohol/Alcohol-free Mirin? Do you think it matters?

    Thanks,
    Brendan

    Hi Brendan

    I think that whatever you have available will do the trick. The mirin adds flavour, and liquid. By the time it is finished there will be very little alcohol left. I buy mirin by price. I have quite a lot to select from so I choose the mid range price and so far I haven’t chosen a dud.

    Thanks

    Tom
