  • premium soy sauce 90cc

Recipe 🍳

  1. Mix mirin 60cc, black sugar 60g, premium soy sauce 90cc, and water 500ml to make the seasoning broth.
  2. Place a handful of unsoaked glass noodles on the bottom of a hot pot, then pour in all the prepared seasoning broth.
  3. Cut tofu into bite-sized pieces and sear the surface lightly with a torch until firm and golden.
  4. Cut Chinese cabbage into thirds, slice green onion thickly, and chop onion into large chunks.
  5. Score burdock root, then peel it thinly using a peeler or knife, like sharpening a pencil.
  6. Turn on the heat and layer the onion, Chinese cabbage, green onion, seared tofu, burdock root, and paddy straw mushrooms neatly in the pan.
  7. Thawed shabu-shabu beef should be gently dabbed dry with kitchen paper before adding to the pan and cooking through.
  8. Stir gently to prevent clumping and skim off any foam that rises during boiling for a clean finish.
  9. Serve each person a raw egg in their bowl, then dip the cooked beef and vegetables into the sauce-like broth.
  1. Mix the ingredients according to the measurements to prepare the sukiyaki seasoning broth.
  2. Arrange glass noodles, vegetables, burdock root, and seared tofu in the pan, then pour in the broth and bring to a boil.
  3. Add beef and cook through, then serve by dipping the meat and vegetables into raw eggs as a sauce.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Using black sugar gives a deeper, richer sweetness compared to regular white sugar.
  • Wash burdock root under running water to remove dirt but keep the skin on to preserve its distinctive aroma.
  • Sealing tofu with a torch prevents it from breaking during cooking and adds a subtle smoky note.
  • Finish leftovers by stir-frying udon noodles in the remaining broth for a delicious stir-fried udon dish.
