Have you ever tried Sukiyaki?
Sukiyaki is a popular one-pot meal which is usually cooked at the table as you eat.
The word “yaki” means “sautee” or “grill” in Japanese.
The word is used because meat is sauteed in the hot skillet.
The main ingredient in sukiyaki is usually beef which is thinly sliced.
Meat slices and ingredients are simmered in soy sauce based soup.
Hotpot is an actually pretty good & easy meal to share with friends and families.
I had one with my flatmates on the cold day X(
I think hot pots can be the savior for many housewives in Japan….
because everything you have to do is make a soup, put meats and veges→leave. that’s it 😛
& most importantly, it is yummy & healthy.
Today I’m going to tell you how to make a soup for Sukiyaki XD
Ingredient (The one I used in Australia)
- Thin sliced beef
- 1 package of shirataki noodles.
- 8 shiitake mushrooms
- 1 carrot
- 1 package of enoki mushroom
- 1 leek
- 1/2 wombok
- 1 tofu
For sukiyaki sauce:
- 100cc cup soy sauce
- 4 Tbsp sake(rice wine)
- 5 Tbsp sugar
- 4 Tbsp Mirin
- 3/4 cup hondashi soup
Step1 put 1 Tbsp of oil, and cook the beefs with sugar, Mirin, Sake wil the color change.
Step2 Add soy sauce & Hondashi-soup
Step3 Cut the veges and put them all into a pot 🙂
Carrot
Tofu
Enoki mushrooms
Leak
Wombok
Shirataki
Shiitake (Brown mushroom)
Like this
Don’t feel puzzled even the amout of soup is a little.
because more water will come out from those veges!
Step 4 cover the pot, cook them with low or middle heat for 30 mins.
If you feel it’s too salty, please add a bit more hondashi-soup.
& if it is too tasteless, add more saysause & sugar 🙂
When I was in Japan I had many Sukiyaki parties with my friends which was a great fun!
In the end of Sukiyaki, when we finish most of the ingredients, we often put Udon (Japanese flour noodle).
It’s another way to enjoy Sukiyaki<3
You can put mixed egg if you want.
Hope this recipe helps you to have a great hotpot time with your friends!
