Suki Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Brown beef in hot oil, then stir in soy sauce, MSG, broth, and sugar. Mix in onion and celery, and cook until tender. Stir in bamboo shoots, green onions, mushrooms, and water chestnuts. Reduce heat to medium, stir in cornstarch, and simmer until sauce is thickened.

Steps:

• Mix soy sauce, sugar, stock, and mirin together in a bowl. Arrange meat and vegetables on a large platter. Heat an electric skillet to 375 degrees F.
• Add oil to the skillet and heat. Brown meat in the oil, adding sugar slowly. Move the meat to the corner of the skillet when well browned. Add other vegetables, keeping each separate. Add sauce and cover. Bring to a boil and cook for 2 minutes. Uncover and turn all ingredients while cooking 2 minutes more. Serve on small plates.

Steps:

• First, make the stock. Tip all the ingredients into a large saucepan along with 1.5 litres water, bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 2 hrs, skimming any scum from the surface. Strain the stock, discarding the flavourings.
• Meanwhile, mix the marinade ingredients in a large bowl, add the pork and stir to coat. Leave to marinate for 1 hr.
• For the sauce, lightly toast the sesame seeds in a dry frying pan over a low heat. Leave to cool. Use a pestle and mortar to pound the sesame seeds with the shallots, garlic cloves and pickled garlic, the chilli (if using) and sugar, until most of the sesame seeds have broken down. Or, do this in a food processor. Add the bean curd and pound to combine. Mix in the vinegar, stock and some seasoning to create a tahini-like consistency.
• For each portion of suki, bring 400-500ml stock to the boil and add about 400g marinated pork, about 200g glass or rice noodles and your choice of veg. Boil for 2-3 mins or until the meat is cooked, then serve in deep bowls with the sauce on the side for dipping the pieces of meat and vegetables.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook udon in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender yet firm to the bite, 10 to 12 minutes. Rinse with cool water to stop the cooking process and set aside.
• Heat a wok over medium-high heat and add oil. Sear beef slices in the pan until browned, about 3 minutes. Add sugar, soy sauce, sake, white wine, and white pepper. Add cabbage, celery, mushrooms, and scallions and cook 10 to 15 minutes more.
• Adjust seasoning if necessary with additional soy sauce, wine, sake, or sugar.
