Your experience in Japan would not be complete without a delicious dinner of shabu shabu and sake. I was invited into the home of Mrs. Masako[ Yamada's to learn the art of Japanese cooking and to experience eastern hospitality at it's finest. Kevin Brauch, The Thirsty Traveler] Ingredients:
2 cups sake |
2 cups water |
10 1/2 ounces (300 grams) thinly sliced pork or beef |
miso dipping sauce, recipe follows |
soy sauce dipping sauce, recipe follows |
2 1/2 ounces (70 grams) red miso |
4 tablespoons granulated sugar |
1 tablespoon ground sesame seeds |
1 tablespoon japanese mustard (karashi) |
1/4 cup sake |
1/2 cup soy sauce |
4 tablespoons granulated sugar |
2 tablespoons finely chopped ginger |
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce |
3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar |
3 tablespoons chopped green onion |
1/4 cup sake |
Directions:
1. Shabu Shabu:
2. Pour sake and water into a large frying pan or wok and bring to boil. Once boiled, turn down heat and simmer. Cook pork slices 1 at a time. Remove each slice and cool in a strainer. Place cool pork slices on a plate and refrigerate while making dipping sauce. Serve with Miso Dipping Sauce and Soy Sauce Dipping Sauce.
