Here, I have my rice. Prepare whatever serving size you think is most appropriate for you, but I used 2 Itaki pro cups of rice. I used roughly 80 ml of uncooked raw rice in the video.
Mince 1 clove of garlic
Thinly slice ¼ pound of beef blank. In a container, add to the meat a pinch of salt, a pinch of pepper, 1/4 tablespoon of cornstarch, 1/4 tablespoon of water and 1/4 teaspoon of soy sauce. Stir and put the lid on.
Roughly chop your tomato.
Prepare your sauce, which is a combination of 1 tablespoon of ketchup, 1/4 teaspoon of vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon of sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of soy sauce and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Cooking time!
So now pretend that you are in your dorm, or your office, or even working from home and it’s now almost your lunchtime.
Make rice: First, we’re going to make the rice. We’ll be cooking the rice in the steamer tray of the Shabuki pot. Now, this bowl is from the Itaki Pro. However, you can use any dish to cook your rice so long as it fits in the steamer tray and is steam proof. We’ll start off with washing the rice three times in a heat resistant bowl. Then, add an equal portion of water to the washed rice. So if you use 80 ml of rice, add 80 ml of water. Place the bowl into the steamer basket. Pour 1 cup of water into the shabuki pot. Turn the heat to low and place the steamer basket on top of the shabuki pot. Let it steam for 25 minutes.
When your rice is done steaming, turn off the shabuki pot, remove the steamer basket from the shabuki pot and pour away any remaining water.
Cook tomatos and beef: Turn the shabuki pot to low. Once all the water has evaporated, add in ½ tablespoon of oil. Let the oil heat for a couple of seconds before adding in the garlic. When your garlic is smelling nice and fragrant, add the tomatoes and let them cook until soft. I like my tomatoes pretty soft, so I’ll be letting this go for about 5 minutes.
Once five minutes is up, turn the heat to high and add the beef and let it cook for about 3 minutes, covered. Add the sauce and stir. Let it simmer for another minute or so. Anytime you find that the shabuki pot is getting too hot, you can turn the heat low. And if you find the heat is too low, you can turn the heat up higher.
Assemble!
Finally, scoop some tomato beef into your bowl and enjoy!
