- Marinade for meats
- Dipping sauce
To prepare sukiyaki, heat a small amount of oil in a shallow pot or pan. Add thinly sliced beef and cook until browned. Then, add vegetables such as napa cabbage, shiitake mushrooms, and tofu. Pour in the Aroy-D Sukiyaki Sauce, allowing it to simmer and coat the ingredients. The sauce will reduce slightly, concentrating its flavors. Serve the sukiyaki directly from the pot, often with a side of steamed rice and a raw egg for dipping.

Compared to other Japanese sauces like teriyaki, sukiyaki sauce has a more complex flavor profile, often featuring a deeper umami from ingredients like kombu or bonito. It is typically less sweet than teriyaki and has a distinct savory character that is essential for the sukiyaki dish.
