Chef’s Insight

The key to a perfect sukiyaki lies in the balance of flavors, as well as the tender texture of the beef. Make sure to cook the beef at the desired doneness and not overcook it. Also, the broth should be rich and flavorful without being too salty.

Notes

Feel free to adjust the seasoning according to your taste. - For a more authentic experience, serve with steamed rice and pickled radish on the side.
