Yakiniku recipe

Assalamualyakum,
Brothers and sisters,
Today, I would like to share one of my favorite Yakiniku recipe. It's from Ochikeron YouTube channel: I choose to make my own Yakiniku, because as we know, there is no Halal Yakiniku shop in Tohoku area yet. But, don't worry.
All materials to make your own Halal Yakiniku are easy to get. Here is my favorite recipe. It's perfect for Bentou as well.

Ingredients:
350g Thinly sliced beef. Chicken is also OK.
Sauce:
The original recipe uses sake. For Muslims please avoid it. You can replace it with lemon juice for 1 tbsp and bit of sugar
2 tbsp Soy sauce
2 tbsp Honey
1 tbsp Oyster sauce
1 tbsp Ground toasted white sesame seeds
1 tbsp Sesame oil
1 tbsp Garlic
Your favorite vegetables
Directions:
1. Cut the beef into thin size (as you like) and season with Yakiniku sauce,
2. Cook the beef in a frying pan
3. Serve with hot rice and your favorite vegetables
4. You can add more sugar or salt for your preference

Imoni Recipe

<Imoni Recipe>
Hi everybody! Today, I’m going to go over how to make Imoni, a popular autumn food in Tohoku region.
Imoni, as the name suggests, is simmered potato in a pot. And what’s interesting about Imoni is that not only is it the name of a dish but it is also the name of an activity that people get together and cultivate friendship while eating the dish.

There are two major styles of Imoni: Sendai Style and Yamagata Style. Sendai Style is miso flavor and uses pork; Yamagata Style is soy sauce flavor and uses beef. Sendai Style contains pork, so it’s Haram. But, no worries. With a little modification you can make Halal Imoni easily. Here's the recipe of Halal Imoni we ate the other day:
Ingredients:
・Taro roots
・Halal Chicken (substitute for beef)
・Green onions
・Burdock roots
・Carrots
・Radishes
・Shimeji mushrooms
★Soy sauce (without alcohol) or Miso
★Sugar
Directions:
1. Cut vegetables and chicken in bite size pieces.
2. Prepare a portable gas stove and boil water.
3. Simmer the vegetables and chickens in boiled water.
4. Adjust taste with say sauce and salt
If you plan on doing Imoni in Sendai, you can purchase Halal Chicken at Majumder in Aoba-ku and fresh vegetables at Sendai Morning Market. It’s said that Imoni season is over when it snows, so let’s give it a try this year before it gets much colder.
