  • An Ode to Sukiyaki


    Sukiyaki is one of my favorite dishes. 

    Sukiyaki is essentially a Japanese stew of beef, tofu, noodles, vegetables, and mushrooms.  And I adore it.  It calls for thinly sliced meat that's simmered in a soy sauce soup base that is just...comforting and delicious.


    I use the Cooking With Dog recipe, that uses these ingredients:

    For the sukiyaki sauce:
    • 100ml Sake (2/5 u.s. cup)
    • 50ml Mirin - A Type Of Sweet Rice Wine (1/5 u.s. cup)
    • 50ml Soy Sauce (1/5 u.s. cups)
    • 2 tbsp Sugar

    I've also had success with the premixed sukiyaki sauce, though sometimes it's a tad too sweet so I mix it with regular soy sauce.


    Other ingredients:
    • Beef
    • Eggs
    • Chinese Cabbage
    • Negi - Welsh Onion
    • Shungiku - Edible Chrysanthemum
    • Shiitake Mushrooms
    • Enokitake Mushrooms
    • Seared Firm Tofu
    • Ito Konnyaku - Konjac Cut Into Noodle-like Strips

    If you're confused as to what some of these ingredients are, the video will give you more of an idea of what everything looks like.  You can definitely pick up all the ingredients from any Japanese market.

    Have you ever had sukiyaki?  Where?
