Ingredients:
1 to 1 1/2 lb. rib-eye of beef
1 12-oz. block tofu, cut into 1-inch cube
1 tbsp. oil
1 bunch (about 6) scallions, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 small can shirataki
1 8-oz. can sliced bamboo shoots, rinsed under cold, running water
1 c. sliced fresh mushrooms
1 c. soy sauce
1 1/2 c. water
3 tbsp. sugar

Directions:
  • Slice beef very thinly. (If meat is slightly frozen, it is much easier to cut).
  • Heat oil in frying pan and saute beef
  • Add scallions, shirataki, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, and tofu.
  • Combine remaining ingredients to make a sauce. Pour sauce over meat and vegetables until they are half covered. Adjust heat so that sauce simmers.
  • After about 10 minutes, test a piece of meat to see if it is done.
  • Remove from pan and serve with hot rice.
*To make delicious and satisfying vegetarian sukiyaki, simply omit the beef from the recipe and double the amount of tofu
