    INGREDIENTS
    (serves 2-3)
    -Tofu-
    300g soybean
    2800ml soft water*
    15 -20ml nigari (or lemon juice) + 50ml water**
    * If you're not sure if your tap water is hard or soft, you can just use distilled water. It might be a bit overkill but it's probably easier than searching specifically for soft water.
    ** Add more nigari or lemon juice if necessary
    -Sukiyaki Sauce-
    100ml sake
    100ml mirin
    100ml soy sauce
    30g granulated sugar
    -Vegetables-
    You can use any vegetables you like. Here'are the ones I used this time
    green onion
    Chinese cabbage
    shiitake mushroom
    carrot
    thread konjac
    very thin, marbled beef slices
    INSTRUCTIONS
    Tofu
    1. Soak the soybeans in water(1200ml). The soaking time depends on the water temperature.
    Summer: 25°C/77°F 10 hours
    Spring, Autumn: 15°C/59°F 20 hours
    Winter: 5°C/41°F 30 hours
    2. Blend the soybeans and water in a mixer to make namago. (Namago is the Japanese word for that specific blended mixture of soybeans and water).
    3. Boil 1600ml water in a large pan or pot and add the namago and stir for about 10 minutes. Make sure not to burn the namago at the bottom of the pan.
    4. Turn off the heat and strain the namago with a filter cloth to get soy milk. The leftover is called okara and it's very healthy. I normally use it for making cookies.
    5. Mix 20ml nigari (or lemon juice) and 50ml water together to make the coagulant for the soy milk.
    ("Your coagulant is a substance that will curdle the soy milk. You can use acid, like lemon juice or vinegar, or salt. Nigari, which is magnesium chloride, is popular in Japan, and calcium chloride is popular in North America."
    -huffingtonpost)
    6. Heat up the soy milk and keep the temperature at 75°C. Add the nigari-water and stir gently. Do NOT mix too much. Turn off the heat and leave it for about 10 minutes.
    7. While resting the soy milk, prepare a container for shaping the tofu. You can make holes in the bottom of a paper drink carton or tupperware, or you can just use your filter cloth and tie it up tighly to shapen the tofu as well.
    ・ Make sure the temperature is between 70 - 75 degree Celsius with a checker. If the temperature is less or more than that, it will not solidify.
    ・Use unsweetened plain soy milk (more than 8% concentration of solid soybean if you use soy milk)
    ・When you add nigari, add it all at once quickly, then stir with a spoon clockwise three times, then stir counterclockwise once. You should be able to tell the tofu started to solidifying a this point. It's be a little thicker than before you started stirring. Then wait for at least thirty minutes.
    Sukiyaki Sauce
    1. Add 100ml sake and 100ml mirin in a pot and boil it.
    2. Add the sugar and soy sauce, and let the sugar melt.
    Sukiyaki
    1. Melt the beef fat* (or just some slices of fatty beef) and cook the green onion (if you have it) in the sukiyaki pot to add flavor to the sauce. Green onion tastes so much sweeter and more flavorful when you fry it first.
    2. Add the sauce and heat it up. Then add tofu, konjac, mushrooms, and anything that takes longer to cook than your other vegetables.
    3. Finally, place everything else.
    Sukiyaki is a shared Japanese dish where everyone ladles out some of the broth and food into their own bowls. Traditionally, sukiyaki is eaten with a raw beaten egg added to your own bowl, but that might be difficult for you depending on how safe raw eggs are considered where you live. I normally don't eat it with egg so I can enjoy the flavor of beef and vegetables, but if you get a chance to eat sukiyaki, please give it a try!
    *In Japan when you buy beef there is usually a bucket nearby where you can also take a cube of beef fat free of charge. If you want you can buy this separately, or you can use beef that has fat on it as well.

      I hate how in North America, tofu is just seen as "this weird thing vegans eat"
      whilst in asia it isn't stirctly used as a substitute for meat that vegans eat, it's an actual ingredient.

    So, as some of you might have noticed, I didn’t use raw egg to eat sukiyaki in this video. That’s how it’s eaten traditionally in Japan, but I noticed in many countries there’s a chance of getting salmonella by eating raw eggs, and it’s just not so common from the first place. Also, I like eating and enjoying the taste of vegetables and meat by themselves so I normally don’t eat sukiyaki with eggs.

      I live in the USA and my mother has cook Sukiyaki since I was a small child. We often ate raw eggs over hot rice. But I've never heard of raw eggs with Sukiyaki. Also to me bamboo shoots are a "must have" ingredient. I just love the bitterness of the shoots, balanced by the sugar in the sauce.

Sometimes he explores things too much and gets stuck behind our cabinets or in the trash can. He is very, very loud. You can hold Poki upside down and he doesn't care."

    I honestly live for these videos. They're so beautifully produced, and you clearly put so much effort into them. Thank you (and thank you to your cats, too, because they're the sweetest, best behaved little cuties ever)
