Sukiyaki cuts are a bit thicker than shabu shabu or other styles of hotpot, but they are still very thin (1.5-3mm, or around a tenth of an inch at thickest).
If your knife can’t go through at all, it’s too frozen. If it’s squishy and the knife wants to wobble away when you try slicing through it, it’s not frozen enough. Depending on the cut of meat, it should take 1-2 hours to freeze to a good temperature for cutting the meat will be very firm. Stick your cut(s) of meat in a plastic bag, squishing all the air out, and place on a metal pan (this will help with the temperature regulation) and stick it in your freezer. Be sure to get boneless cuts unless you don’t mind more work! For sukiyaki, you’ll want a cut of meat like top sirloin or ribeye. If you can’t find thin-sliced beef at your Asian market, and your local grocery butcher won’t do it, you can do that at home, too, but it requires a little more patience. You can also use a kitchen torch, like you’d use for creme brulee! To broil it, you have multiple options: If your oven or toaster oven has a “Broil” option, you can use it here, keeping the pan close to the broil feature and flipping the block after 3-5 minutes to get both sides (keep an eye on it broilers are extremely variable between ovens!). Unwrap! You should have squished a fair amount of liquid out of the block. Add something heavy - thick books are a good example - on top of that second plate. Set another flat plate, or pan, or something that can be washed, on top of the tofu. Wrap the tofu in paper towels and set on a flat plate or cutting board - using something with sides will be extremely beneficial to you here, because you are going to be squishing all the excess moisture out of the block. If you cannot find yaki tofu in your local Asian market but would still like to add broiled tofu to your hotpot, you can broil tofu at home! I recommend rinsing the leeks both before and after you slice to prevent any crunchy bits from getting into your sukiyaki. Note: If you use leeks, make sure they have been well-washed! Leeks often get sand or other grit between their layers. So much of sukiyaki is setup! Always be sure to wash your produce before you start cutting it. You can find powder packets for making it online or at an Asian market, but you can also substitute vegetable broth or waterīroiled tofu, called “Yaki tofu,” can often be found in Asian markets and is recommended here. Interesting to note: Shirataki noodles are made from the same kind of yam that Zantetsuken cannot cut, konjac!Ĭan substitute other greens such as mizuna, Napa cabbage, or spinachĭashi is a Japanese soup stock, and can be seafood or vegetable/seaweed based.
