Begin by preparing the ingredients. Slice the plant-based beef slices into thin strips, if not already pre-sliced.
Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes and set aside.
Clean the shiitake mushrooms and slice them thinly. Trim the ends of enoki mushrooms and separate them.
Chop the bok choy into large chunks, peel the carrot, and cut it into thin diagonal slices.
Trim and cut the spring onions into long pieces, reserving a few for garnish.
Prepare the udon noodles according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.
In a large pot or sukiyaki pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the plant-based beef slices and cook briefly until they're browned and slightly crispy. Remove and set them aside.
In the same pot, pour the vegetable broth, soy sauce, sake, mirin, and sugar. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle simmer.
Arrange the mushrooms, bok choy, carrot slices, tofu, and spring onions around the pan, keeping them separated for an attractive presentation.
Place the cooked udon noodles in the center and let everything simmer for about 10-15 minutes until vegetables are tender.
Add the plant-based beef back into the pan to warm through, mixing gently if necessary.
Serve hot, garnished with additional spring onion slices if desired. Enjoy your Vegan Beef Sukiyaki!
