Yoshinoya Beef Bowl - Halal version

Years ago, there was news saying that Yoshinoya is getting halal certified but till today it is still not halal certified. I miss their beef bowl as the beef is sliced so thinly that it simply melts in your mouth without much chewing. I tried looking for thinly sliced halal beef and only cold storage sold such meat but it is not halal. One fine day, i went to Jurong East NTUC and saw this frozen shabu shabu beef slice (shabu shabu is japanese steamboat) and it is 100% HALAL. At one shot, i bought 6 packs of it as it was on promotion selling 2 packs for $9.90. My sister told me that she found the beef bowl recipe online and it is very easy to cook. Basically u need the right beef (super thinly sliced), dashi (japanese fish stock), mirin (japanese sweet wine), sugar, japanese soy sauce and onion. With the halal shabu shabu beef i bought from NTUC, i cooked my very own halal beef bowl.

Ingredients:
1) 1 White Onion (Sliced)
2) 1 pack of 100% Halal Shabu shabu beef (can be found in NTUC)
3) 1 beef stock cube (Knorr brand) (-> To replace dashi)
4) 1/2 cup water
5) 1 - 2 tablespoons Japanese Soy Sauce (YAMASA brand)
6) 1 - 2 tablespoons sugar

Steps:
1) Cook sliced white onion till translucent
2) Add in the thinly sliced beef meat and cook until almost cooked
3) Add the rest of the ingredients and cook until the gravy looks like beef broth
4) Serve with Japanese rice and dash of japanese black sesame seeds to add that extra crunch
