Do you know about NIKUJAGA?? NIKUJAGA is a popular traditional homemade dish in Japanese cuisine. NIKUJAGA is a stewed potato and meat dish seasoned with a sweet soy sauce based sauce.
When I don't have time and many ingredients, this nikujaga is my family's go-to dinner.
Nikujaga is very easy, simple and can be whipped up in one pot which means less dishes!
Thank you very much for all of your support!
Enjoy!

<Miwa's tips>
・Cut the carrot smaller than any of the other vegetables since the carrot takes longer to cook.
・You can use aluminum foil if you don’t have parchment paper.
