• Tomato koji – 2 tablespoons
• Miso of your choice – 1 teaspoon
• Shiokoji – optional, for marinating the meat

Method:

1. Salt the meat and let it rest for 10 minutes (or rub with 2–3 tablespoons of shiokoji and marinate in the fridge for 6–12 hours)
2. Cut the onion, tomatoes, and mushrooms into pieces
3. Sauté the meat and onion in a pan with olive oil
4. Once cooked, add the mushrooms and tomatoes along with the rice flour and stir
