Sukiyaki (鋤焼/すき焼き) is a Japanese dish in the nabemono (Japanese hot pot) style. It consists of thinly sliced beef with other ingredients such as tofu, negi, mushrooms, jelly noodles and cabbage.

The sauce is made up of sake, mirin, sugar and soy. When eating, Japanese often dip the ingredients in raw beaten egg. Cooked udon or soba is added at the end to soak up the remaining broth. It is extremely easy to whip up at home and a perfect dish for beginner cooks. It’s always quite expensive when one orders it at Japanese restaurants with a few measly slices of beef, so making it at home is affordable (with better quality of beef) and effortless.
Cooking with Dog video for Sukiyaki on YouTube
Recently, I have been hooked on cooking Japanese, largely because I was inspired by Cooking with Dog, a cooking channel on YouTube. The tagline of the show reads “It’s not what you think” – i.e. it’s not cooking with dog meat, but cooking with a dog as your host – the videos are narrated by a male poodle named Francis in perfect Japanese-accented English. While the chef (a human, in case you are wondering) is demonstrating how to cook the dish, Francis sits obediently behind the counter as he “voice overs” the steps of cooking. He sounds earnest and sincere with encouraging words such as “It’s so easy, even a dog can do it” (aww). With so many cooking videos out there, trust the Japanese to be one step ahead in terms of creativity in their presentation to stand out among the rest. Of course, this wackiness will not hold on its own had the recipes not been rock solid good – the steps are clear and the dish is always beautifully presented. I felt so inspired that I finished all the videos within 2 days. The first dish I tried out was this Sukiyaki.
lol that poodle is really cute. Have to try this soon!
Sukiyaki is a super easy and super delicious Japanese one-pot dish. Love to have it when it’s winter!
I am amazed. often ordered this at sushi tei. Hadn’t realised we can do it at home so easily.
I love your new japanese obsession! And I love sukiyaki… yum…
Wiffy, this is my favourite Japanese dish, you are making me craving for it!
Love sukiyaki! Especially if eating it with friends and family. Your yummy pictures make me so hungry now :)

I love sukiyaki! All my favourite ingredients in a bowl!
Ohhhh this looks exactly like the one we eat in Japan!
Well done once again, Wiffy!
It looks amazingly beautiful and tasty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your sukiyaki looks so good! This is such a coincidence. I just had sukiyaki on Sunday. It is one of the dishes that my family would have every fortnightly. As a child, I was a picky eater, but I would always finish what is on my plate whenever it is sukiyaki night. I like adding shichimi (Japanese seven spice powder) into the raw egg. If you spice, you could try it too!
