Directions
1Combine all ingredients (except the cornflour & water) into slow cooker
2Cook on low for 4.5hrs
3Remove any excess oil that may gather on top (I just use a small measuring cup to scoop mine out)
4If any lumps in your mince, use a plastic potato masher to ensure no lumps remain
5Mix cornflour and water into slurry and stir through mince and continue cooking for remaining 30mins
6Serve with jasmine rice
7—Notes
8Purchase mirin and cooking sake from Asian aisle of supermarkets
9Alcoholic sake is also available at bottle shops for adult eaters if you prefer
10Would be great with chicken mince too
11Low salt soy sauce is preferred
12Cooked in my Crock-Pot Express Crock Multi Cooker

Used 1kg chuck steak instead of the mince and it turned out beautifully. 👌 Also added a packet of stirfry frozen veggies towards the end and served with special fried rice. Loved this recipe, I will definitely be making it again!

Made this the other night. Adjusted the recipe for 6 but did not have to change cook time. Absolute success! So easy. I put a bag together in the morning before work and had my visiting mother throw it in and switch it on at 1pm. Everyone loved it! My husband and 8 year old can be a little fussy but they both polished theirs off. As my 19 year old said afterwards “add it to the list”. So it has been added to my regular rotation

Mine didn’t have the rich colour like in the picture above but it tasted better than it looked. Super easy to make too. Served with rice, julienned carrot and snow peas. Response from my 4yo “the meat is the BEST”.

What a beautiful and unique flavor this was. I made so many mistakes and still enjoyed it. But I need to do it again and closer to properly!!

Made this for the first time last night. Will be making again for sure. Thought I would be the only one who ate it but my 13 year old loved it and even my fussy 15 year old loved it and she doesn’t like rice but I mixed the meat through the rice and she ate the whole lot!! As expected master 5 wouldn’t even try it 🙄

If you halved the mince would you half the sauce ingredients?

My family of 6 absolutely loved this recipe! Soooooo easy to make and so tasty! Everyone actually loved it and finished their plates, which is quite miraculous in our house! We put ours on vegie rice and it was healthy and still tasted delicious! Super fast to prepare too with only a few ingredients, I have 4 young children and seriously no time, so can get a bit turned off by recipes with too many fussy ingredients, so this was just perfect!
Thanks so much, will definitely be making this again! xx

I made this the other night for the first time and it was very nice, i added broccoli but next time I won’t add it till the last 45 minutes as I like it a bit crispy, I had it with boiled rice, it would be nice in lettuce cups and also as teriyaki meat pies
A great budget friendly meal with flavour 😋

I made this tonight for the first time and it was really nice, I added some broccoli but will leave it out till the last hour or a bit less next time as i prefer it to be a little crisp but very easy and very tasty.

This is our new family favourite. I make it using chicken thighs and steam some vegetables to have with it.
Anything the kids love is a winner for me.
Anyone worried about the ginger flavour. I hate ginger, but can barely notice it in this dish.

Only had 500g of beef mince and made the recipe as is ….used tea towel method to reduce condensation. I cooked it for specified time and it was an amazing juicy teriyaki. Served with pasta and broccoli. Wow I thoroughly enjoyed my dinner.
