Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked rice warm
- 4 tbsp maple syrup or honey
- 4 tbsp soy sauce low sodium
- 2 tbsp mirin
- 2 tbsp water
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp black pepper or more, to taste
- ½ tsp onion powder
- 1-1½ lb shabu shabu beef or sliced beef
- 1 tbsp oil
- 2 tbsp butter divided in half
- ¼ cup sweet corn
- ¼ cup scallions sliced
Instructions
- Cook jasmine rice in your method of choice. I use a rice cooker.
- Make the sauce by combining maple syrup, soy sauce, mirin, water, garlic powder, pepper, and onion powder and set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add a splash of oil and add the beef to it. Cook until 80-90% browned and drain any excessive liquid in the pan.
- Push the beef to the side of the pan, making a large enough space in the middle of the pan for a bowl of rice. Add 1 tbsp butter to the middle of the pan and let it melt for a few seconds.
- Tightly pack around 3 cups of rice into a bowl and invert it into the middle of the pan, over the butter.
- Remove the bowl, drizzle the sauce over the rice and beef, and then top with the corn. Let everything cook together, untouched for 2 to 3 minutes. The bottom of the rice will get nice and crispy while the sauce cooks with the beef.
- Top off with the rest of the butter and green onions before serving.
