ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Nikujaga

Nikujaga is a food that comes from Japan and it is made of meat and potatoes. Imagine you are playing with toy blocks, and you have a block of meat and a block of potatoes. You cook them together with some other ingredients like onions, soy sauce, and sugar. The meat is usually beef or pork, which are animals that people eat. They are cut into small pieces and cooked until they are really soft and yummy. The potatoes are also cut up into small pieces and get really nice and soft, too. When everything is cooked together, it all gets mixed up, and you have a warm and cozy dish that tastes really good. This food is served in Japan and people really enjoy it because it is so delicious and filling.
