Arrange ingredients in groups
Separate areas do not only look beautiful: beef, tofu, mushrooms and vegetables can be removed accordingly to their respective cooking point.
The ingredients cook in stages directly at the table or in a wide pan. Beef remains delicate if it pulls only briefly between vegetables and sauce.
Why this recipe works
Sukiyaki is eaten together from a flat pot. Warishita from soy sauce, Mirin, sake, sugar and Dashi provides a reliable spice base in the Kanto species. Meat, vegetables, tofu and Shirataki do not come in at the same time: solid ingredients start first, thin beef cooks only briefly. Raw eggs for dipping are traditional, here only pasteurized and optionally offered for food safety reasons.
Recipe
Sukiyaki is a Japanese hot pot dish with thin beef, tofu, shirataki, mushrooms, Chinese cabbage and leek in sweet-spicy warishita sauce.
Boil soy sauce, Mirin, sake, dashi and sugar. Simmer quietly for 2 minutes until the sugar is dissolved, then put aside.
Rinse the pasta thoroughly, cook for 2 minutes in fresh water and drain. Cut into shorter pieces so that they can be more easily grasped later.
Heat flat pot or large pan, spread oil or beef fat and brown leek on the cut surfaces for 2 minutes.
Use Chinese cabbage, tofu, Shiitake, Enoki and Shirataki in groups. Pour in about two thirds of the warishita and simmer gently for 6 to 8 minutes.
Place one third of the beef spread out and allow to cook gently 30 to 90 seconds in the boiling sauce depending on the thickness. Remove directly and eat.
Add more ingredients and sauce as soon as space is created in the pot. Add leaf green only in the last 1 to 2 minutes of a round.
Place Sukiyaki directly from the pot in small bowls. If you want the traditional egg dip, use only one fresh pasteurized egg per person.

All meat slices at the same time would cook. Small amounts remain tender and cool the sauce less strongly.
