A short plate can also be called brisket, usually, this part is long and usually cut into thin slices. The main ingredients used to make Gyudon are Japanese soy sauce (shoyu), sweet sake (Japanese mirin), and dashi stock. There are 2 types of dashi stock, the first type is Kombu Dashi which is made from vegan ingredients such as kelp/seaweed, or you can also mix shiitake mushrooms and seaweed.
