Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g thinly sliced beef
- 200 g firm tofu
- 100 g shiitake mushrooms
- 100 g enoki mushrooms
- 300 g napa cabbage
- 100 g sliced leek or green onion
- 200 g shirataki noodles (or glass noodles)
- 80 ml soy sauce
- 60 ml mirin
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 200 ml water or dashi stock
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
Instructions
Prepare the ingredients: Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes. Trim the ends off the shiitake mushrooms and enoki mushrooms. Chop the napa cabbage into manageable pieces and slice the leek or green onion diagonally into thin slices. Parboil the shirataki noodles for 2 minutes, then drain and set aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, mix the soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and water (or dashi stock) to create the sukiyaki broth. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
Heat a large, deep skillet or a shallow pot over medium heat. Add the vegetable oil and swirl to coat the bottom.
Sear the thinly sliced beef in batches until just browned on both sides (about 30 seconds per side). Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
Pour the sukiyaki broth into the skillet and bring it to a gentle simmer.
Arrange the tofu, mushrooms, napa cabbage, leek, and shirataki noodles in sections within the skillet. Pour a bit of the broth over the toppings to flavor them as they cook.
Cover the skillet and let the ingredients cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the flavors are well combined.
Return the seared beef to the skillet and let it heat through for 1-2 minutes before serving.
Serve the sukiyaki directly from the skillet. Traditionally, sukiyaki can be eaten by dipping the cooked ingredients into lightly beaten raw egg (optional, depending on personal preference and egg safety in your area).
