Clearing The Fridge with Sukiyaki
This week is my mom’s birthday celebration, and we made a HUGE FEAST! Our spread included a ton of shrimp and vegetable tempura as well as cold soba, sushi, and karaage. I bought a TON of ingredients in preparation for our huge feast, and now I have too much leftover in the fridge!
For lunch today, the goal is to clear out the fridge with an easy, one-pot meal. I have a ton of mushrooms, cabbage, and tofu I want to use up. So, we are making one of my favorite Japanese dishes: Sukiyaki! This hot pot meal is so easy: make the sauce, and throw everything in!
The Tastiest One-Pot Hot Pot: Sukiyaki
The basic toppings for Sukiyaki usually includes various mushrooms, leafy greens like napa cabbage, tofu and sliced hot pot beef. To enjoy sukiyaki, you dip the flavorful ingredients in a raw egg as a sauce. You can add udon or vermicelli to this sukiyaki hot pot a full meal, or you can skip the noodles and eat the hotpot with a bowl of rice instead.
Although Sukiyaki is traditionally a beef hotpot, sometimes I make this dish without the hot pot beef to make it fully vegetarian, and it tastes just as good! With this sauce base of soy sauce, sugar, dashi, sake, and mirin, it tastes authentic EVERY SINGLE TIME.
