Most of the girls learn how to cook 肉じゃが from their mums. I didn't though, but I manage to cook this dish... Coz I am Japanese! You don't need even one drop of water to cook this dish. 

Ingredients

(4~6 servings)

• 4 ~ 5 potatoes (500 g)
• 3 onions
• 1 carrot
• 200 g of thinly sliced pork (if any, otherwise minced pork)
• 200 g of shirataki (konnyaku noodles)
• 1/2 tablespoon of oil
• 1 tablespoon of butter
• 6 tablespoons of soy sauce
• 4 tablespoons of sugar 

Instruction

1. Cut the potatoes into bite-size chunks. Cut the onions into wedges. And cut the carrot into random pieces. Boil the konnyaku noodles for about 5 minutes and drain water. Cut them into bite-length.
2. Heat the oil in a pot and fry the onion for 2 minutes. Add the carrot and the potatoes and keep frying. Put the meat and the konnyaku noodles over them. Add the soy sauce and the sugar. Then, cover with a lid. Don't mix them now.
   
3. Turn down the heat to medium-low heat and simmer for 15 minutes with the lid. 15 minutes later, open the lid and mix all ingredients in the pot.
   
4. Simmer with the lid again for 8 ~ 10 minutes over medium-low heat until the potatoes are cooked. Open the lid and add some butter.
   
5. Serve in a nice bowl. Now your Niku-jaga is ready! いただきます!
