This is one of the great traditional dishes of Japan. In Japanese "suki" means to like, and "yaki" means to broil or grill. Modern sukiyaki is boiled in a pot, but you can think of it as "cooked how you like it". Pick from the ingredients listed below (our family always picks 7 of them), and have a great meal. The sweet broth and lovely mix of ingredients are a big hit with our kids!

  • Broth:
  • 1 cup water

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup sake
  • (this is all we use, but some substitute Mirin for some of the sugar and sake.
  • Stew ingredients:
  • 1 lb thinly sliced beef, tenderloin or bonesless sirloin
  • 4 green onions, 1 inch pieces
  • 1 onion, halved then sliced
  • spinach, 10 oz frozen thawed and liquid squeezed or 10 oz fresh
  • one pkg firm or extra firm tofu, 3/4 inch cubes
  • 6 oz white mushrooms, sliced
  • 6 dried shitake mushrooms, soaked in hot water to reconstitute and sliced (retain liquid for possible use)
  • 2 celery stalks, 1/4 inch slices
  • 2 carrots, 1/4 in slices
  • bean thread or shirataki filaments, reconstituted in hot water and drained
  • 1 small can sliced bamboo shoots, drained (optional)
  • 1 small can sliced water chestnuts, drained (optional)

Directions

  1. Cut and prepare all stew ingredients.
  2. Mix broth ingredients in large skillet.
  3. Add green onions, onions, carrots, celery, both mushrooms, bamboo shoots (optional) and water chestnuts (optional). Simmer until vegetables are nearly soft.
  4. Add tofu and beef, simmer for 3 minutes, basting and turning meat and tofu occasionally.

    The family enjoyed this. It is very mild - we'll spice it up a bit next time for our taste but it makes an easy, quick dinner. The vegetables and tofu were especially tasty, soaking up the broth.
    I've cooked/tasted this recipe!

      This looks a nice recipe to try. I have heard of this dish but not tried making one.
