If the only reason why you don’t cook is because you simply “don’t have the time,” the solution is not to stop cooking but pick easier recipes. This gyudon (beef rice bowl) is a recipe that smashes the “no time” excuse and it’s delicious too!

  2. Add in the beef slices and saute for 1 minute.
  3. Add in the soy sauce and mirin and let simmer for 2 minutes.
  4. Pour in the beaten eggs. Shut off the heat and stir the eggs into the meat.
