08-18 Sukiyaki

Pronounced "skee-ya-kee"
This is the dish where we put all the raw ingredients on the table with the electric wok and cook and eat them as they are ready. But you can make one serving using your cast iron skillet on the stove.
Start rice in rice cooker. Then beginning preparing your vegetables - any or all of the following:
thinly sliced zucchini or yellow squash
thinly sliced or julienned carrot
thin onion rings
thinly sliced sweet potato
green onion
bean sprouts
etc.
Then prepare:
cubed tofu or tempeh
thin sliced beef - top sirloin or "shabu shabu" or pork

Heat skillet over high heat, add a bit of sesame oil or beef fat.
Sprinkle pan with 1T sugar, then when its melted, add 2-3 T shoyu (soy sauce).
Cook raw meat first, do not over cook. Remove and place on plate with cover.
Then add in veggies and tofu. They will cook quickly, add to covered plate.

Water from the veggies will dilute the sauce so add a little bit of sugar and/or shoyu as needed.

Traditionally you eat a raw egg on top of a bowl of rice and place your veggies and meat on top.
But you can just serve them on the rice since you don't know where your eggs came from. =)

Nicola's Fisk

 Cousins in Sweden served a fish meal that B really liked!  [That is a huge compliment as it's not her favorite protein.]  Nic makes it without a recipe so this is a general guide.  Layer a casserole with a bed of zucchini slices and add a layer cod pieces . Mix chopped flat leaf parsley (handful), softened butter (abt. 2 T), horseradish sauce (abt. 1 T) with a brick (8 oz) of cream cheese.  {It is easier if the ingredients are room temperature} Cover fish with sauce and bake for about 25 minutes at about 325-350 degrees [Swedish measurements are not equivalent]  Thin sauce with milk if needed. Serve with new baby potatoes baked in butter and dill and salt.

Mix 1 lb lean ground beef 2 eggs 1 c Italian bread crumbs 1/2 c spaghetti sauce (more or less, see how it looks) The longer you mix/beat them, the more tender they will be Form meatballs and bake at 350F about 12 minutes Use in meal immediately or freeze for later Put in spaghetti or any pasta will work. Meatball sandwiches would be good too!
