One of the classic bento meals, Shogayaki, is so quick to make and incredibly tasty. You can literally finish two bowls of rice with a few slices of Shogayaki! I am not exaggerating!
If you know Shogayaki, I think you are an expert Japanese food lover! Shogayaki is loved by Japanese people, but somehow Japanese restaurants in foreign countries don’t usually offer Shogayaki so this is not a well-known meal outside of Japan. It’s such an easy recipe that you can make it in less than 15 minutes. Add on top of a bowl of rice and it’s perfect for lunch or dinner.
One of the many things that I love about this meal is that the ingredients are so simple. You only need,
- ginger
- soy sauce
- sugar
- sake
That’s all the seasoning required! If you cook Japanese/Asian food often, you probably have all the ingredients at home already.
