Soup Ingredients

  • 200 ml water
  • 1 teaspoon dashi powder
  • 4 Tablespoon sake
  • 4 Tablespoon mirin
  • 4 Tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 Tablespoon sugar

Instructions
 

soup

  • In a medium pot, add water, sake, mirin, soy sauce, and sugar. Turn the heat to medium and bring it to a boil.
  • Once it is boiling, turn the heat off and use a fine-mesh skimmer to get rid of any fat and foam. Soup is done.

Preparation

  • Cut shirataki into 1 inch long pieces. Then put the noodles in a separate pot of boiling water for 1 minute to remove any odor. Then move to a strainer. Finally, squeeze the water out of them using your hands.
  • Open the pack of firm tofu, then remove water. Slice the tofu into 0.5 inch cubes. In a pan, add a thin layer of oil and the sliced tofu. Cook until both sides are nicely brown.
    Move it to a plate and remove oil by patting with paper towel.
  • Cut onion into thin slices.
  • Cut thinly sliced beef into 1 inch long pieces.
  • Cut green onion into 1 inch pieces diagonally.
  • Cut baby bokchoy into 1 inch long pieces.
  • Cut off and discard the stems of the shiitake mushrooms. Make a cut like an 'X' on the top and then cut '-' in the middle so it looks like a star.

Let's make Sukiyaki

  • Use a pot, and turn the heat to medium low. Add a thin layer of vegetable oil.
  • Add the green onion and onion. Cook until the onions are nicely brown.
  • Then add the soup you made. Cook for 2 minutes.
  • Add firm tofu, shirataki noodles, and baby bokchoy and cook for 2 minutes.
  • Before adding the thinly sliced beef, crack an egg into each individual small bowl. Beat it.*1
  • Make a space in the pot for the thinly sliced beef. Place a few slices of the thinly sliced beef in the pot. When one side (bottom) is cooked, flip and cook the other side.
    Cook until your preferred doneness.

Let's eat!

  • Finally serve everything in the beaten egg bowl. Dip the cooked beef when you eat!

Notes

*1 if you want to avoid eating beaten egg with your Sukiyaki, please skip this step.
