Introduction
Sukiyaki is a classic, comforting Japanese hot pot dish featuring thinly sliced beef, tofu, and fresh vegetables simmered in a sweet and savory soy sauce-based broth. It is traditionally enjoyed by dipping the hot, freshly cooked ingredients into a bowl of raw beaten egg for a rich, velvety finish.
Step 1
Add sake and mirin to a saucepan.
Step 2
Bring the sake and mirin mixture to a boil until the alcohol has evaporated.
Step 3
Pour in the soy sauce and add the sugar. Stir well over heat until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Step 4
Optionally add a pinch of kombu dashi powder for extra umami flavor. Remove sauce from heat once ready.
Step 5
Briefly boil the shirataki noodles in water to remove their odor, drain, and cut into bite-sized pieces.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Always separate the shirataki noodles from the beef in the pot. The calcium in shirataki noodles can react with the beef and make the meat tough.
Be sure to evaporate the alcohol from the sake and mirin first to ensure the sauce has a smooth, rich flavor profile without any harsh alcohol bite.
Using raw egg as a dipping sauce is essential in traditional Japanese sukiyaki to mellow out the strong, sweet, and salty flavor of the warishita broth. If you prefer not to eat raw eggs, enjoy the sukiyaki with a hot bowl of white rice instead.
For the ultimate finish, it is highly recommended to add pre-cooked udon noodles to the leftover sauce in the pan at the end of the meal to soak up all the rich juices.
