sukiyaki

Sweet simmered beef

Sukiyaki is a Japanese dish of thinly sliced beef, tofu, vegetables, and noodles simmered in a sweet soy sauce broth, typically cooked at the table in a shallow iron pot.

Diners often dip the cooked ingredients in raw beaten egg before eating.

We ordered sukiyaki and watched the server prepare it tableside.
