Quick and Easy "Beef" Stew

My stomach decided to give me a reason to try a new recipe today. Read about a new recipe online, and have been wanting to try it out. The fact I was attempting to clear out the freezer gives me more compelling reason to just whack the recipe. So anyways, this recipe was inspired by this. Eventually, this is what I did.

1 Carrot
2 Small Potatoes
1 Packet of Bonito Flavouring
Chicken Bones
1 medium sized onion.
Sliced pork
3 dried shitake mushrooms

Fry the sliced onion in the pot with some oil and then add the sliced carrot and potatoes. Saute for a while and then add water, about 500 ml and then and the packet of bonito flavouring. Add the chicken bones and the shitake mushrooms too.

After bringing the whole pot to a boil, simmer and wait.

Half an hour later, add a little soy sauce to taste, salt and pepper. Finally, boil the pork for a couple of minute and you're done!

I felt the soup was a little too sweet, maybe cos of the chicken bone and bonito flavouring. But overall a pretty easy dish to cook and eat with plain white rice.

Update: Did the same thing, but ditched the bonito flavouring. Added cubes of beef instead of pork. The broth ish GOOD.
