Hayashi Rice (with Noodle)
Hayashi rice is a western-style Japanese beef stew served over rice, which is one of my favorite Japanese dishes.
Unlike a common Hayashi rice, My version didn't have sliced beef. Instead, I flavored with beef broth to make something like a classic French rich brown sauce, so-called demi-glace, and served with no-yolk egg noodle, not rice. So, I could call it Hayashi noodle. Of course, my version would be delicious to eat with rice too.
It was rich, comfortable, and for me a little bit nostalgic dish. Hayashi rice usually tastes better the next day. I made a bit pot of Hayashi so that we could enjoy Hayashi noodle 2 days.
