Sukiyaki Osaka-Style image

Number Of Ingredients 13

10 to 12 shiitake mushrooms, wiped and trimmed, crosses notched on caps, if very large, cut in half
2 cakes grilled bean curd (yakidofu)** cut into 1 1/2-inch squares as you arrange the platter
1/2 pound shirataki filaments, parboiled for 1 to 2 minutes
12 small pieces wheat gluten (fu), soaked for about 5 minutes, squeezed gently and drained
2 ounces beef suet
3 tablespoons sugar
Several cups water (or half water, half sake)
1/2 cup sake
1/2 cup dark soy sauce
6 eggs
2 pounds sirloin beef, well marbled*
6 green onions, cut diagonally into 1 1/2-inch lengths
1 bunch trefoil, if stalks are very long, cut in half

Steps:

  • Cooking at the table: Put the empty sukiyaki pan or large cast-iron skillet over the heat source (or use an electric skillet) at the table. Start to melt suet in the pan over medium heat, using long chopsticks (or a fondue fork) to move it around so the entire pan bottom is well greased. The fat should smoke slightly. Quickly sprinkle about 3 tablespoons of sugar over the bottom and continue moving the fat in the pan (it should not be entirely melted yet.) The sugar will caramelize, turning brown and sticky. At this point, add about 1/4 cup water and 1/4 cup sake. There will be some sputtering (but this helps entertain guests). Add sake, stir; add dark soy sauce, stir. Begin the cooking by laying a few slices of beef into the pan. The beef should take about 1 minute to cook. Add more beef, switch to vegetables-including shirataki, tofu and fu-then alternate back to beef. Each diner should put into the pan whatever he or she likes. Add water (or half water/half sake) to the pan occasionally, as the sauce is reduced. The ingredients should not swim in the sauce; the liquid should just keep the pan bottom covered.
  • Set each place with an individual dipping bowl into which an egg has been broken. This alone is the dipping sauce. (If you serve a whole egg at each place, which is attractive, provide a saucer or some vessel for the empty shells.) Each diner mixes the egg with chopsticks or fork. As with the other nabemono, long-handled fondue forks are best for anyone who is a little shy about using chopsticks, but dinner forks will do in a pinch.
  • Before eating, dip cooked meat and vegetables into the egg; the thin coating of egg "cooks" on as soon as it is in contact with the hot food. There is no other garnish or relish. To end the meal, serve hot cooked rice, mild pickles, and Japanese tea as a final course. Serve hot sake or cold beer up to rice course.
  • Suggested Sake: Rich Sake
  • *Have your butcher cut well-marbled sirloin beef into very thin slices. .
  • **Buy grilled bean curd (yakidofu) or use any type of bean surd (tofu) available. .

Overall, the sukiyaki was a good meal. It was easy to make and the flavor was good. I would definitely recommend it to others.

The sukiyaki was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning or a different type of dipping sauce.

The sukiyaki was delicious, but it was a bit pricey for the amount of food we got.

I love how versatile sukiyaki is. You can add or remove ingredients to suit your own preferences. I like to add extra vegetables and tofu to make it a more hearty meal.

The sukiyaki broth was a bit too salty for my taste, but overall the dish was enjoyable.

I'm not usually a fan of beef, but the sukiyaki was surprisingly good. The thinly sliced beef was tender and flavorful, and the vegetables added a nice crunch.

The sukiyaki was a great way to use up leftover beef and vegetables. It was quick and easy to make, and the end result was delicious.

Although the sukiyaki was enjoyable, I felt like it was missing something. Maybe a bit more seasoning or a different type of dipping sauce would have made it even better.

The sukiyaki was a visual delight, with the thinly sliced beef, vibrant vegetables, and rich broth creating a stunning presentation.

Tried making the sukiyaki last weekend and it was a total flop. The beef was tough and the vegetables were overcooked. Definitely not a keeper.

The sukiyaki was a delightful experience. The thinly sliced beef cooked quickly and evenly, and the vegetables retained their crunch. The dipping sauce was also well-balanced and flavorful.

While the sukiyaki was tasty, I found it to be a bit too oily for my liking.

The sukiyaki was easy to make and turned out delicious. I especially liked the way the thinly sliced beef absorbed the flavors of the sauce.

Tried the Osaka-style sukiyaki last night and it was a hit! The addition of udon noodles gave the dish a satisfying heartiness, and the slightly sweeter sauce was a nice change from the traditional recipe.

Sukiyaki, a classic Japanese dish, is a feast for the senses. The thinly sliced beef, tender and flavorful, melts in your mouth. The vegetables, cooked to perfection, retain their crispness and vibrant colors. The dipping sauce, a blend of soy sauce,
