Sukiyaki is a Japanese dish / Japanese hot pot style. It consists of meat (usually thinly sliced beef) which is slowly cooked or simmered at the table, alongside vegetables and other ingredients, in a shallow iron pot in a mixture of soy sauce, sugar, and mirin. Before being eaten, the ingredients are usually dipped in a small bowl of raw, beaten eggs.
Ingredients:
Thinly sliced beef is usually used for sukiyaki; although in the past, in certain parts of the country (notably Hokkaidō and Niigata) pork was also popular.
Popular ingredients cooked with the beef are: Tofu (usually seared firm tofu) Negi (a type of scallion) Leafy vegetables, such as Chinese cabbage and shungiku (Garland chrysanthemum leaves). Mushrooms such as shiitake and enokitake Jelly-noodles made out of konnyaku corm such as ito konnyaku or shirataki noodles. It is said to be advisable to place these away from the beef because the calcium contained in the noodles can toughen meat.
