Restaurant to Another World: teppanyaki-style beef and vegetables.

Restaurant to Another World is one of my favorite anime shows. It is a very relaxing and enjoyable show to watch. The food looks amazing, and the characters are all very likable. I especially enjoy the way the show explores the different cultures and customs of the different worlds that the restaurant opens to.

teppanyaki-style beef and vegetables:

Ingredients:

- 1 pound of thinly sliced beef (ribeye or sirloin works well)

- 1 zucchini, sliced into thin strips

- 1 onion, sliced into rings

- 1 bell pepper, sliced into strips

- 1 carrot, thinly sliced

- 8-10 large shrimp, peeled and deveined

- 2 cups of bean sprouts

- 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil

- Salt and pepper to taste

**For the Teppanyaki Sauce:**

- 1/2 cup soy sauce

- 2 tablespoons sake (Japanese rice wine)

- 2 tablespoons mirin (sweet rice wine)

- 2 tablespoons sugar

- 1 teaspoon grated ginger

- 1 teaspoon minced garlic

**Instructions:**

1. Prepare the Teppanyaki Sauce:

- In a small saucepan, combine the soy sauce, sake, mirin, sugar, ginger, and garlic.

- Heat the sauce over low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.

- Once the sugar has dissolved, remove the sauce from the heat and set it aside.

2. Heat the Teppanyaki Grill:

- If you have a teppanyaki grill, preheat it to a medium-high heat. If you don't have a teppanyaki grill, you can use a large, flat skillet on your stovetop.

3. Prepare the Vegetables:

- Arrange the zucchini, onion, bell pepper, carrot, and bean sprouts on a plate.

4. Cook the Vegetables:

- Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the heated teppanyaki grill or skillet.

- Place the vegetables on the grill/skillet and cook them for a few minutes, tossing and turning them with spatulas or cooking chopsticks. Season with salt and pepper as desired. When they are tender and slightly caramelized, transfer them to a serving plate.

5. Cook the Shrimp:

- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the grill/skillet.

- Place the shrimp on the grill and cook them for 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque.

6. Cook the Beef:

- Lay the thinly sliced beef on the grill and cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side until they're cooked to your desired level of doneness. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

7. Serve:

- Arrange the cooked beef and shrimp on the serving plate with the cooked vegetables.

- Drizzle the teppanyaki sauce over the cooked ingredients.

8. Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade teppanyaki!
