WHAT IS SUKIYAKI?

Sukiyaki (すき焼き) is a Japanese hot pot recipe usually consisting of thinly sliced beef, tofu and vegetables, simmered in a savory and sweet broth. Made of soy sauce, mirin, sake and sugar, this sukiyaki sauce (or simmering broth) provides the lion’s share of the flavor.

However, most sukiyaki recipes will also call for the cooked ingredients to be dipped into a small bowl containing a raw, beaten egg used as a dipping sauce.

Now, sukiyaki is pretty much a self-contained one-pot-meal. In Japanese those dishes are often referred to as nabe or nabemono (literally: things in a pot).

And if that sounds familiar, that’s because we’ve got a few nabemono recipes you can prepare!

Seriously – from this delicious tomato nabe recipe to this lemon nabe recipe, there’s no shortage of the delicious simmered hot-pot dishes you can prepare.
