Notes

Nikujaga is a classic Japanese soup, which can be bought at a Japanese supermarket or restaurant. Traditionally, you can make it yourself if you want. Firstly, you need to boil water for the noodles. Once the noodles are ready, you can add the beef, onion, and carrot. You can also add snow peas to the soup if you prefer. You may add a bit of salt to taste.
