Easy Sukiyaki Recipes

I just love easy sukiyaki recipes. One of my favorite Japanese dishes has to be sukiyaki. So, what is sukiyaki? It can be described as being similar to shabu-shabu. Sukiyaki is a hot pot style dish with thinly sliced beef and vegetables in a sweet, tangy sauce. You can also get vegetarian sukiyaki recipes. This versatile and easy sukiyaki recipe is perfect for cool winter evenings, and you can present or even cook it in a pot in the middle of the dinner table.

The ingredients are usually dipped into raw, beaten eggs before being eaten, although this is not so prevalent outside Japan. Easy sukiyaki recipes are typically a winter dish in Japan, often served at year-end parties.

Thinly sliced beef is usually the meat that goes in there, although pork is more popular in some regions of Japan. Tofu, green onions, mushrooms, shirataki or jelly noodles, and Chinese cabbage are popular additions to a traditional sukiyaki recipe.

Different Kinds of Easy Sukiyaki Recipes

There are 2 main styles of sukiyaki – the Eastern Japanese style known as Kanto and the Western Japanese style known as Kansai. In the Kanto style, sake, soy sauce, mirin, sugar and dashi are heated in a pot then the meat goes in, then the other veggies. In the Kansai style, the meat goes in first, then the sauce, and then everything else.

Easy Sukiyaki Recipes: Different Meats to Try

Pork used to be used more than beef in the Northern and Eastern areas of Japan because beef was expensive. Chicken, udon noodles and fish are sometimes found in an easy sukiyaki recipe. In most modern restaurants, beef is the meat of choice. Both varieties are served with raw eggs for dipping, along with steamed rice with some black sesame seeds in it.
