200 grams Pork belly or thinly sliced beef
5 medium Potatoes
1 carrot Carrot (medium size)
300 grams Shirataki noodles
1 Onion
5 Green beans or garden peas
500 ml Japanese dashi stock
3 tbsp Sugar (light brown sugar)
3 tbsp Sake
3 1/2 tbsp Soy sauce
3 tbsp Mirin
1 Vegetable oil
1 pinch Salt

1
Peel the potatoes and cut into 3-4 pieces.
2
Slice the carrot into half moon slices.
3
Cut the onion in half and then slice into 1 cm wide pieces.
4
Steam the shirataki and then cut into bite-sized lengths.
5
Boil the green beans and cut into 3-4 cm pieces.
6
Heat oil in a pot or deep frying pan.
7
Cook the meat.
8
Add the carrot, onion, potatoes, and shirataki.
9
Add the dashi stock and bring it to a boil.
10
Add the sugar and sake.
11
Let it boil for 3 minutes.
12
Add in the remaining ingredients, cover with a drop-lid, and simmer for 15 minutes.
13
Once the potatoes have become soft and the liquid has evaporated, stop the heat.
14
Add the green beans.
15
Serve in a bowl.
16
Step 3: Only add enough dashi stock to just cover the ingredients.
17
The amount of potatoes and onion may change, but pouring in 500 ml of dashi will be fine.

I think it tastes best when the potatoes are cooked that they're about to fall apart.
19
Make sure there is still some liquid left at the end.
