1. Cut all vegetables into bite size pieces. The potatoes are okay being a tiny bit bigger than the rest of the vegetables.
2. Cut meat into thin bite size slices. Grab a large pot that will fit everything in. In that pot, on medium heat and with a little bit of oil, cook the sliced meat.
3. Once the meat is cooked, throw all of the vegetables and water into the pot. Rise the heat to high.
4. We don’t need that much water because we aren’t boiling the vegetables, we will be simmering/steaming them. In the hot water, add in all the seasonings like soy sauce, sugar, sake, etc.
5. Give the pot a toss to mix everything evenly. Then, close the lid keep the heat on high. The vegetables are only simmering on the bottom where it is in contact with the liquid, so use something like a large wooden spoon to mix everything around, but not too vigorously or else the vegetables will begin to crumble and break.
6. After some time, the vegetables will absorb the liquid and a lot of it will also be evaporated. When you notice that the liquid is getting low, add about half a cup of water again, to continue simmering the dish.
