sukiyaki
[ soo-kee-YAH-kee; skee-YAH-kee ]
Known in Japan as the "friendship dish" because it appeals to foreigners, sukiyaki consists of
STIR-FRIED bite-sized pieces of meat, vegetables and sometimes noodles and
TOFU. It's flavored with soy sauce,
DASHI (or other broth) and
MIRIN and is usually prepared at the table. Before eating each bite, diners dip their cooked food into beaten raw egg.
