Sukiyaki is a Japanese dish of beef, vegetables and noodles cooked in a sweet soy sauce broth. It is commonly served with rice and a raw egg for thickening. Sukiyaki is a popular dish in Japan and is often eaten at parties and special occasions.
Sukiyaki originated in the Edo period. During this period, the Japanese diet consisted mainly of rice and vegetables. Meat was a luxury and was only available on special occasions. Therefore, sukiyaki was born to enjoy meat without wasting it. Originally, it was cooked in a pot over an open flame.
Currently, the ingredients used for sukiyaki differ from region to region. In the Kanto region, centered around Tokyo, sukiyaki is made with thinly sliced beef, tofu, noodles, and vegetables. In the Kansai region of Osaka, Kobe, and Kyoto, sukiyaki is made with thick slices of beef and various vegetables.
The most important ingredient in sukiyaki is beef. Thinly sliced beef is good quality. Wagyu beef is best suited for sukiyaki, with its high fat content and melt-in-your-mouth texture. Because wagyu beef is expensive, it can only be eaten on special occasions.
Sukiyaki is commonly prepared with various vegetables such as onions, carrots, and cabbage. Vegetables are simmered in the broth to give the dish its flavor and texture. Noodles are also often used in sukiyaki. The noodles absorb the flavors of the soup and vegetables, making the dish more filling.
Sukiyaki is usually cooked in a pot over an open flame. The pot contains dashi stock, vegetables, and beef. Simmer until the beef is tender and the vegetables are the size you like. Cooked sukiyaki is eaten with rice and a raw egg.
Eggs are used to thicken sauces and add richness to dishes. Boiled eggs are also used as a topping, and it is common to break the egg and mix it with sukiyaki before eating.
Sukiyaki is delicious and filling, so it’s a perfect dish for the winter table. Next time you want to have a cozy meal, why not try sukiyaki?
