[thedesertmisfit]

hard to see, impossible to hear. shame

[CamuiVanilla]

is it necessary to use potatoes? I'm deathly allergic but i want to try this

[macgyver2210]

Excellent recipe. I really like the music in the background(sounds like Keiko Matsui) but I can barely make out what you're saying.

[xKaoKaox]

why can't we hear what she's saying D:

[soumire]

wow i like the music :) well done :)

[MoonlightPhantomMask]

What's Ito Konnyaku? Is that a type of noodle? It's the only ingredient I don't know ^^; And I'd really like to try to make this it's a great instructional video

[Churumbelita]

It's made from konnyaku, which is an Asian plant. Ito Konnyaku is basically like threads of konnyaku.  It's very gelatinous and gooey, and I don't think its at all easy to find outside of eastern Asia. I've made this recipe and it's delicious without it!

[epicwater]

おいしそう！

[HelloPandaBiscuit]

oishi ^^

[misterbearbe]

regarding mattburkelikesguys, what kinda of comment is that get some manners.

[pepeYjuana]

Perfect for cold weather comfort. I wish I was in that kitchen!

[dondons1987]

MMmmmmmmmmmm *drools*

[monkies978]

thanks for the vid but here's my two cents

"japanese beef stew", sorry i have a problem with that term since it defines an aspect of another culture by western standards

[monkies978]

but other than that the food looks delicious and thank you for the vid and sorry if i offended you with my previous comment

[Miyavi1987Ko]

God i'm hungry

[Darkmausi]

どうもありがとう！

[Zarathustra06]

I love nikujaga. This was a great video!

[weeknightingale]

The music on your videos is too loud and too busy. It is not a pleasure to watch the videos with such distracting music. I enjoy watching cooking shows. Please excuse my comment it is meant to help in your presentation.

[AzumiRM]

NikuJaga (Niku = Meat, Jaga = Jagaimo = potatoe). This is in no way a Japanese traditional food. We did not eat meat in Japan until it was introduced to us by the europeans. And the europeans / rest of the world did not eat potatoe until it was brought back from the americas in 17xx. Even then it took over 100 years for us to get them in japan. In my view a traditional food is something your country has eaten for many centuries.

[suki251]

AzumiRM, I have two things to say to you. First, learn to spell potato correctly, second, before the introduction of potatoes in Japan, this dish was likely prepared with another ingredient similar to the potato. The potato probably just overtook it through the popularity that something new gets.

[thejapanesechallenge]

Azumi, although you are right that this was introduced relatively late in Japanese history (I believe the 1800's), your definition of "traditional" may be too limiting. Families have speak of having a "tradition" when it is only 150 years old or less. This food is "traditional" in the sense that it is recognized as Japanese and holds a place in the heart of Japanese people, young and old.

[ikachanusa]

NIKUJAGA was introduced in SHOWA(Dec.25,1926~Jan.7,1989),­but no one is sure who created or started cooking it first.

I can tell Nikujaga is very popular and everyone loves it!

So I totally agree with u,thejapanesechallenge

[driftaway3]

Tradition doesn't necessary mean 'centuries'. If it's adopted as part of a country's national cuisine for longer than 50 years, then it's traditional.

[dasila108]

I love your videos but the music is so loud that it makes it difficult to hear what you are saying.--thank you

[queenzoleck]

ooo koool^^ tyvm!

[all199l]

i cant even understand a fuckin word shes saying wit that loud ass yoshida ruckus in the background

[Firegrubs]

Looks really delicious, just a question, why the double soysauce adding? Why not add it in one time?

[RustyDK]

theres a difference between the taste of freshly added soy sauce and cooked soy sauce

[unsweetenchocolate]

background music a bit to loud,cant hear her talking

[lukmansyah75]

Oishii Soo....yatte miru wah.arigato oyamake san.

[waros4you]

japan style british beef stew by an admiral togo.lol

[YummyFoodGood]

I like the background music it's so good.

[Ieyla1]

Hi, it's me again! This is the one I made today! and OMG it was delicious!! So simple, good and nutritious too. Merci :D

Oh she did mention that we can use any vegetable instead of carrots, right?

[Oyamake]

Yep. Glad it turned out well. Tomoko will be happy.

[SuperJunior1000]

I have a suthing to asked. Wut is the music in the background name?? it sound so good. N the recipes look yummy

[Oyamake]

The group name is the Yoshida Brothers. Or Yoshida Kyodai.

[LilStupid213]

I liked the cooking video and the music,

BUT WHAT THE HECK ARE THE RECIPES?

[Oyamake]

Look at the first comment or at the beginning of each of our videos. If you have any trouble just leave another comment. Hope you enjoy. Ittadakimasu.

[aedean]

Awesome, keep the videos coming, I'm getting hungry.

[hnubno]

hmm...that looks good. my mom use to make a japanese beef and potato stew but i don't remember if it's like this one or not. maybe not like this one because it doesn't have sake in it. newho, i think i'll try making this one...it looks good.

[Oyamake]

You might ask your parents to buy it or ask the clerk at your nearest asian market what you should use. I can't really advise in this situation. Sorry.

[PandaCurryy]

Sake? As in the alcohol?

o_o

Uh.. I'm just a kid but is having mirin and sake okay to have in my nikujaga for me Dx?

[the6thmonkey]

Lots of meals use alcohol. Just don't binge on the Nikujaga !

[Oyamake]

LOL. Yes PandaCurryy. It's sake as in the alcohol. You can buy cooking rice wine in some stores even idf you are underage. Mirin too. At least, you could when I was a kid. ;-)

[vasabrina]

your NIKUJAGA looks pretty good....good job-desune!!

watasi-kore-daisuki-nandesuYO!

[Oyamake]

Point4m. I hear ya. I'll try to make some changes in the net video.

Adjudo - You might try 1 tbl rice vinegar instead of sake. Remember that mirin also has alcohol.

[point4m]

MMMM I can't wait to try it! Very clear instructions, however the music is a bit loud still. Perfect otherwise!

[Adjudo]

Great, the only thing I can't really use is the sake? Do you have to use the sake?

[Oyamake]

Here's the recipe for four servings: 4 cups cubed potatoes 2 cups cubed carrots (optional) 1/2 large yellow onion sliced 1 pkg (2 cups) ito konnyaku noodles — parboiled in saltwater 1 1/2 tbls vegetable oil 500 g beef (thinly sliced) 1 1/2 cups water 2 tbls mirin 2 tbls sake 1 tbls brown sugar 4 tbls soy sauce (2 portions)

[Raantuva]

what type of potatoes do you recommend? would satoimo be too specialized for this dish?

[ikachanusa]

I wouldn't use satoimo,that is too sticky.

I always use idaho potatoes (russet potato is as good as idaho).

If u live in The U.S.,u probably will have a very hard time finding thin-sliced meat unless u have Asian Grocery Stores around u.

As for me,I use Rival-Food Slicer and slice meat real thin or use ground lean beef instead.

Try that!

[Raantuva]

I live in California. If there weren't an Asian grocer in town, I would not live there-I don't know how to cook the food from here because I don't like to eat it (even though I am american :/)
