I thought it would be fun to share recipes here.
Sukiyaki
3 tbsp Mirin or Rice wine
5 tbsp Sugar (If using mirin, skip the sugar, unless you like it sweet.)
3/4 cup Warm Water
1/3 cup Soy sauce
Chinese cabbage
Very thin rice noodles/soba/udon/shirataki noodles or whatever you like
Spinach
Tofu
Paper thin sliced beef that is nicely marbled with fat. (The butcher at the super market can slice it very thin for you if you ask. Price Chopper also sells it pre-packaged.)
Baby corn
Shitake mushrooms
Enoki mushrooms
Green onion
Whatever else sounds good to put in it.
Optional: Raw beaten eggs for dipping.
This is usually made at the table in a hot pot. Electric skillets work really good.
Preparation:
Cut all ingredients into bite-sized pieces. Dissolve the sugar in the warm water then mix with the soy sauce and sake. Heat the electric skillet up at around 300 degrees with a small amount of oil in it. Cook some beef slices, then pour some of the sauce in the pan. (Be careful with the heat at this point or the beef will stick to the pan. Lower the heat if it does.) Add other ingredients when the sauce starts to boil. Simmer until all ingredients are softened. If you want, dip the cooked ingredients into the raw eggs and begin to eat. As the liquid boils away, add more sukiyaki sauce.
