How to Make Hayashi Rice (Hashed Beef) 

Hayashi Rice (also called Hashed Beef) is a very popular Western-style rice dish in Japan.

You can use the mix (roux) to save time, but in this video I will show you how to make it from scratch 🙂

Directions:

((Roux))
1. Thinly slice the onion and carrot. Make cross incisions on the bottom surface of tomato. Bring a pot of water to a boil, pour it over the tomato to soften the skin, then peel (you can also dip the tomato in hot water for a few seconds to soften the skin). Seed tomato and cut into small pieces.

2. Heat butter in a large stew pot. Add the sliced onion and carrot, then stir-fry on low until lightly colored golden brown.

3. Add red wine and simmer on low until somewhat absorbed. Add flour and mix well.

4. Add tomato, demi-glace sauce, consomme cube, bay leaf, and water. Bring to a boil, remove the foam, turn the heat down to medium, season with salt and pepper. Then cover and cook for about 5 minutes.

5. Drain well with a strainer. *You can eat strained vegetables but they don’t taste good, so I don’t recommend eating them…
