Wow, I was searching for a good recipe for Banh Mi and had already decided to try the Caramel Pork Banh Mi. After cruising through your site I stumbled on this Sukiyaki dish, this is one of my 3 kid’s favorite dishes. I just made Sukiyaki a week ago. I don’t have a hot pot so I use an electric skillet on the dining table and have the family help themselves as I cook, the skillet can barely keep up with the demand. Funny you should mention about the konnyaku noodles, I have to have 3 bags of it, one for each kid. My wife and I just get a little taste of the noodles. I need to make it again using sake. My kids don’t care for the raw egg so I use finely grated daikon and shoyu for the dipping sauce. The photos of the dish are amazing, I can practically smell the sukiyaki cooking.

I JUST migrated to Japan and one of the first things I bought for myself was a large metal cooking pan so I can effectively make things like this for myself since the harsh winter is about to rear it’s head. I’ve made sukiyaki in the states several times and have enjoyed it, but there’s something so special about being able to make it for myself using ingredients fresh from the local Japanese grocery. Thank you for sharing your recipe, I look forward to making it.

Amaaaaazing! We made it tonight, it was a) a fun cooking together activity and b)DELICIOUS! So good and perfect. A few substitutions as we’re in Denmark and things like Shiitake mushrooms are hard to come by but some nice brown ones, a bottle of sake I’ve been saving and perfection, it was so great!

THIS IS SO GOOD!!! I made this for a group of my friends and it was GONE in maybe 10 minutes! Be careful with the Sake though, if any more is added the sauce becomes extremely strong! *****

I love the pot that you have used to cook this sukiyaki in. Where did you get it from, I suspect Japan. The dish looks delicious, I’m teaching a group of Chefs in a couple of weeks time and I’m tempted to show them this recipe of yours, it looks inviting and simply delicious!

For New Year’s eve gathering in the Philippines, we had shabu shabu with a large assortment of ingredients. The only thing is, my sister used store bought ready made soup base and I tasted the artificial flavoring.

Years ago, a Japanese doctor friend used to prepare sukiyaki whenever he visited and I would stop him from pouring a lot of sugar into the broth. He must have the mentality from the shogun days before the abundance of cane sugar. Anyway, it’s been ages since I prepared it myself. Now you gave me an idea and inspiration especially in these freezing days in my neck of the woods in the northeast.

Thanks and more power to you , Diane and Todd for the year 2010!
