Traditionally, Hayashi Rice is a Japanese-style hashed beef stew cooked in a demi-glacé sauce. Today, I’m sharing with you my vegan version of Hayashi Rice that takes less than 20 minutes to make. This savory, slightly sweet and tangy stew is the ultimate Japanese comfort food!

Ingredient Notes
Mushrooms – I used shimeji and maitake mushrooms, but any variety of mushrooms will work
Dark soy sauce – it’s thicker, darker, and slightly sweeter than regular soy sauce. They’re usually available at Chinese supermarkets and online. (In Japan) Dark soy sauce is usually sold at Kaldi, and some large supermarkets like Aeon.
Tomato puree – is a smoother, slightly thicker form of tomato sauce. Not to be mistaken with tomato paste, which is a concentrated thick paste, not suited for this recipe. If you don’t have tomato purée, you can use regular tomato sauce.
Soy curls – usually available at natural food stores or online. (In Japan) I use dried soy curls by Daizu Labo .
