Hayashi Rice

not quite katsu curry

Hayashi Rice is a dish that originated in Hyogo, Japan, which is also known for its famous Kobe beef. Hyogo has a rich history of sea trade, which has brought in Western influences that have made their way into the local cuisine. Hayashi Rice is a perfect example of this, with its use of beef, tomatoes, demi-glace, and even red wine. Despite its Western influences, this dish remains relatively unknown in Western countries. But fear not, as we have an easy Hayashi Rice recipe that you can try at home. Itadakimasu!
