Learn Japanese Cooking at JapanesePod101.com! Japanese food is famous for being healthy and delicious! So today we’re going to learn how to make one of Japan’s most beloved homestyle dishes, Niku Jaga. It’s a kind of beef stew and is traditionally associated with a loving mother or devoted wife. Like last week’s lesson, the grammar is quite easy, but there is a lot of vocabulary. So please check out the PDF while you listen to this one. Also, Naomi sensei has a quick and funny tip on how to make instant mash potatoes with just a little bit of hot water and crunchy snack called Jagariko. There’s a lot going on here, but if you want to eat in Japan, this lesson is for you. After listening, stop by JapanesePod101.com and be sure to leave us a post!
