Hello everyone, I am MASA
Today I want to share with everyone
a popular dish
Sukiyaki.
Although it is a famous dish,
Not many people know
How to make it.
Today I will introduce a very simply way of
enjoying sukiyaki. Now,
Let's begin!
This is a very simple sauce
Mixing sweet with savory flavors
The ratio is just for reference,
Mirin : soysauce : sugar = 3:1:1
If needed, you can adjust to your preference
You can use any mushroom
Oyster mushroom and enoki mushroom are good too
Here I am using left over shiitake mushroom in the fridge
Cut it like this
Or just put it in the pan directly
Typically we choose the kind of green onion
with thick white stems
Because I could not find Japanese green onion,
I used ordinary green onion
that had more white parts
I am using leftover leftover greens from last meal
If possible,
use crown daisy.
If you are not used to it,
You can use bok-choy
or cabbage.
Grill tofu like this
to bring out the natural fragrange of the soy bean.
If you don't own a torch, you can pan sear it.
We typically dip sukiyaki
in raw egg.
So make sure you have fresh, safe, raw-grade eggs.
Alright,
Now we have everything ready.
Preheat the sukiyaki pot, or
use an ordinary skillet.
Sautee the onions to golden brown,
when the oil is infused with onion fragrance,
put in the meat,
pour in a little sauce.
This dish is called sukiyaki:
yaki means "to grill", so there shouldnt be too much liquid
Heat the meat, and dip it in the egg
Now enjoy.
After enjoying a few more slices of meat,
You can put in the other ingredients.
Some people say that you should not place meat and konjac together
because it makes the meat tough
but konjac today dont usually have this problem
So feel free to put both in.
It is not like a hotpot
because it has less liquid.
You can eat while putting in new ingredients,
if the flavor is too mild, add more sauce.
If too strong, add water or sake to adjust.
Use the leftover to cook rice with, or add udon noodles. Both are tasty.
So there is no designated way to eat sukiyaki.
You can grill while eating,
Or cook everything first and then eat it.
If you dont want to bother bringing out a stand-alone stovetop,
eat it in the kitchen is convenient too.
I do it often.
If you are interested, try the recipe yourself.
Thanks!
