Gyudon (Japanese Beef and Rice Bowl)

Thin slices of beef and onion simmered in a sweet soy and dashi sauce and spooned over rice, with a soft egg, pickled ginger and spring onions on top. Japan's favourite fast weeknight bowl.

Scaled to two full bowls (300 g beef, a whole onion) with the sauce raised to match; rice amount and cooking times added.

Liquid set to 150 ml (the source gives 200–300 ml), salt and pepper given amounts, and a simple cream gravy added from the source's serving note.

French Onion Soup

Golden onions simmered in beef stock with herbs and a splash of port, then topped with bread and Gruyère and grilled until bubbling. Vegetable stock makes a meat-free version. Adapted from “French Onion Soup” in the Wikibooks Cookbook (CC BY-SA 4.0). Scaled to 4 bowls with 1 litre of stock (the source's 1.5 litres serves 6) and added a time for cooking the onions.

Shepherd's Pie

Minced lamb simmered with carrots, peas and sweetcorn in a savoury gravy, topped with buttery mash and baked until golden. A proper British family supper. Adapted from “Shepherd's Pie III” in the Wikibooks Cookbook (CC BY-SA 4.0). Scaled from 1–2 to 4 servings with amounts for the vegetables, ketchup and stock; the stock now has 300 ml water so it can simmer, and an onion stands in for the unspecified mixed vegetables.
