- Sukiyaki (Pronounced tskee-yaki)
-
- 1 piece beef suet, about 2" x 2" x 1/2" (enough to lightly grease hot pan)
- 1 Lb. lean beef, sliced paper-thin across the grain, then cut into
- bite-sized pieces
- 1 bunch Scallions, cut into 2" lengths, both white and green parts or
- 1 large white onion, peeled, halved and sliced thick
- 1 block of fresh tofu, cut into bite sized squares
- 1-12 oz. can of shirataki (yam noodles) (This is optional as they are very
- expensive on the east coast)
- 1-16 oz. can of bamboo shoots, sliced thin
- 1/2 Lb. fresh bean sprouts
- 8 fresh brown mushrooms, sliced about 1/4" thick
- 1/2 c. Soy Sauce
- 1/2 c. Sugar
- 1 c. Water
- 2 T. Sake Mirin or dry sherry
-
- Heat skillet until the suet sizzles when it touches. If the suet does not
- sizzle, remove it and heat the pan further.
- Move the suet around the pan, putting a coat of oil over the whole surface.
- Place about 1/3 of the sliced beef in a corner of the pan, mix it about a
- bit to brown for about 1 minute. Add the begetables, 1/3 of each in their
- own 'corner' of the pan, except the scallions. Pour sauce (see following
- recipe) over these but not so much that the vegetables are swimming (about
- 1/2 the sauce). Bubble for 4-5 minutes, gently turneverything over and
- place scallions on top in a neat pile. Bubble 4-5 minutes more and it is
- ready to serve. Carefully place 1/4 of the meat in each person's bowl.
- Then immerse the scallions in the pocket you have just created in the
- skillet. Serve the other ingredients and by the time you have served all,
- the onions/scallions should be wilted and cooked just right. Spoon a bit of
- sauce over all. Start the next batch of sukiyaki when the first half of the
- dish has been served.
-
- SAUCE:
-
- Combine the soy sauce, sugar, water and mirin in a bowl or pitcher. Stir
- well, set aside for cooking/serving.
-
- Sukiyaki is generally served with rice.
-
- Also, to be totally authentic people serve themselves out of the bubbling
- mass in the center of the table (on a hot dish). Also, each person has a
- little bowl with raw egg in it. You take the boiling hot item from the
- central cooker, and dip it in the egg. This transfers the heat to the egg
- so you don't scald your mouth.
