Equipment
- Non stick skillet / frying pan
- Small bowl or jug
Instructions
- Make the sauce: Combine the sauce ingredients - soy sauce, mirin, cooking sake and sugar - in a small bowl and mix well to combine.Tip: If you’d like additional sauce to drizzle over the bowls on serving, make a second batch, cooking over medium heat in a saucepan until the sugar has dissolved.
- Cook the vegetables: Add the carrots and snow peas to a large non-stick frying pan / skillet with a good dash of water. Cook over medium-high heat for 1-2 minutes until slightly tender (they should still have crunch). Set aside on a plate.
- Cook the beef: With the veggies set aside, add the oil to the pan and heat for 1 minute over medium-high heat.
- Add the beef mince and cook for a few minutes until browned all over.
- Add the teriyaki sauce, making sure to scrape any sugar into the pan that may be stuck in the bowl
- Stir well, then cook for a further 4-6 minutes, stirring every now and then, until the sauce has almost completely disappeared.
- Assemble your bowls: Add some rice to the bottom of each bowl, then top with the teriyaki beef. Scatter over some sesame seeds and spring onions. Add some vegetables to the side and serve. See notes for other condiment ideas.

Notes
- Tablespoons: I use a standard Australian 20ml tablespoon (equal to 4 teaspoons). Check yours before measuring.
- Other condiments that are great with this are some shichimi togarashi (Japanese spice mix), furikake (Japanese seaweed seasoning), pickled ginger and/or Kewpie mayonnaise.
