Sukiyaki

plantfreek's Note:

A simple, easy to make, flavorful dish your family will enjoy. This dish can be served with white or brown rice depending on your family's preferences. If you are using white rice, start cooking it and then start preparing the sukiyaki. If you want to serve brown rice, start the brown rice 20 minutes ahead of stir fry cooking so they will both be done at the same time. If you like heat in your dishes you can add hot chili oil or red pepper flakes to taste. Bon appetit--

[Chef Sandra B]

Unlike the other recipies posted here, this one is almost real sukiyaki. Sukiyaki does not use green peppers or corn like the others try to tell you. You can use spinach if Napa cabbage is not available. The one change I recommend to make it authentic is to use cellophane noodles, not rice. A wok is nice, but a frying pan can work. Keep all veggies separated-none get mixed. A very impressive dish! Guests will be most impressed!
