Pantai Cantonese Suki Sauce 435ml

Product Information

The best way to enjoy your Japanese hot pot is by dipping it in raw egg. Japanese people love eating it this way because it gives a slightly sweet counterpoint to the salty broth. If you have pasteurised eggs, we highly recommend eating them this way to tone down the richness of the broth. With Ponzu Sauce Before eating it, locals recommended dipping the ingredients in a small bowl of raw, beaten egg. Furthermore, Sukiyaki can vary depending on their styles or cooking method. Locals served it with bowls of steamed rice. Generally, sukiyaki is a dish for the colder days of the year and commonly on the menu of bōnenkai, a Japanese year-end party. Additionally, the Japanese prepared sukiyaki for special occasions and family celebrations. SUKIYAKI HISTORY It’s a fun dinner for familyandfriends’ get-together, and not to mention, all you have to do is to chop ingredients before dinner time! How to Eat Sukiyaki the “Authentic” Way Set aside an amount of the suki sauce you will use for the soup (you’ll need 2-3 tablespoon per serving), then with whatever is left, stir in about 30% Sriracha—this is your dipping sauce.

For the exact measurements, please scroll down to the recipe card at the bottom of this post. For the marinade This recipe is for a small batch of sukiyaki to serve two people so you will need to double or triple the ingredients and cook in batches if you’re serving more. Make warishita sauce Sukiyaki is a Japanese dish that is similar to its slightly more famous cousin, Teriyaki. “Yaki” means “grill” in Japanese. Teriyaki usually refers to grilled meats smothered in a sweetened soy sauce. Sukiyaki is a hot pot dish, where meat and veggies are cooked in a hot broth made from soy sauce and sugar. This sukiyaki sauce recipe is truly delicious, full of umami, and could not be easier to make.There are healthier alternatives too in making this dish. If you prefer to go gluten-free, you can swap the oyster sauce with Japanese tamari sauce. Variations of Cantonese style sauces The Kanto-style sukiyaki needs warishita (割り下), the sukiyaki sauce. It’s very simple to make with just 4 ingredients: soy sauce, sake, mirin, and sugar.

To give colour to the dish, sliced carrots are sometimes added. In spring, bumboo shoots are added to give a seasonal touch to the sukiyaki dish. Instead of shiitake mushrooms, you could use shimeji mushrooms, enoki mushrooms or sliced king oyster mushrooms. I sometimes add Chinese cabbage cut into small pieces in winter time. The sugar is used to add to the sweetness of the hot pot, when not available you can alternatively use honey or granulated sugar instead. Soy SauceLower down the heat when it starts to boil and allow to simmers while adding more beef at the same time. Fill a pot with water and place it over medium heat. Bring to a boil before adding the marinated meat. Some vegetable shops sell shungiku, often at Asian grocery stores but I find that in Sydney, it is rather seasonal (winter-spring vegetables). So I often use spinach as a substitute when I cannot find shungiku. Apparently one reason is that the egg lowers the temperature of the cooked piece of meat or vegetables so that you won’t burn your tongue! If you travel to Japan and try sukiyaki there, I actually highly recommend trying it at least once as eggs there are considered safe to consume raw. The sweetness from raw egg coats well with salty, strong-flavored beef and vegetables and it amazingly balances out the flavors very well.

In my previous recipe, I should not have specified the amount of kombu dashi because the amount of kombu dashi depends on the vegetable amount you add or how much water has released from the veggies. It should be adjusted based on the cooking broth and everyone’s broth should be slightly different. In Japan, we adjust the broth’s flavor with sukiyaki sauce and kombu dashi (or water) throughout the cooking. It’s not a fixed sauce/broth. I completely failed to give instructions on this in the previous recipe. Also, for those who use eggs, kombu dashi is not needed as much as for those who don’t use eggs. Chinese cabbage, morning glory, sweet basil, celery, enoki mushrooms, green onions– Feel free to add other greens. The hot pot tastes impressive by itself, and you can enjoy it just as it is with no other side dishes. This will allow you to fully experience and savour the taste of the dish with no additional ingredients. This also works well for those planning to make it a light meal to enjoy anytime. Dipping sauce My previous recipe (for 4 servings) uses 1 cup of sukiyaki sauce + 1/3 cup dashi (see my video from 2015 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMTJXarcCLc ) and mentioned that the leftover sukiyaki sauce can be saved.
