Notes
- Stir fry onion and simmer with sauce for a couple minutes until the onion is soft.
- Add thinly sliced beef and simmer for a few minutes. I used lean beef, so I only simmered for a minute or two until it changed color. If you use fatty beef, it’s better to simmer a little longer.
- Turn off the heat and add some sesame oil and green onion.
- Cook 2 cups of Japanese rice with 2 cups of water in an instant pot and press the manual button, adjust time for 6 minutes at high pressure and naturally release the pressure.
