The Nagoya-style Sunday Roast differs from the original British version in several ways. Firstly, the seasoning for the meat incorporates Nagoya's staple ingredients such as soy sauce, miso, and mirin, adding a distinct umami flavor. Additionally, the glaze for the roasted vegetables includes dashi, a traditional Japanese stock, and Worcestershire sauce, which enhances the savory profile.

-

-

Treat your ingredients with care...
- Beef or pork roast — Choose a well-marbled cut for maximum flavor and tenderness.
- Dashi stock — If you can't find dashi stock, you can substitute it with vegetable or chicken stock for a slightly different flavor profile.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra umami boost, you can add a sprinkle of bonito flakes or sesame seeds on top of the dish before serving.
- If you prefer a sweeter glaze for the roasted vegetables, you can add a tablespoon of honey or brown sugar to the sauce mixture.
