Sukiyaki

Sukiyaki pairs tender strips of beef with onions, celery, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, scallions, and water chestnuts in a sweet-salty soy and chicken broth sauce. The stir-fried beef finishes in a glossy, lightly thickened glaze that balances umami and subtle sweetness—perfect for a comforting dinner served with steamed rice.
