September 3rd, 2013: niku-jaga

This is the 3rd or 4th time I made niku-jaga (meat-potato) for AS1 but I rarely remember the recipe. Since it is quite a popular menu in school, chances for me to prepare it again in the next two years are pretty high. Today's menu was hot rice with jako(tiny dry fish) , niku-jaga and the usual, boiled vege (almost daily). Anyway I got the recipe from here: http://cookpad.com/recipe/2325030 
And here's my poor attempt of translating. you might do it better than me but hey, neither Japanese nor English is my mother tongue :p
