INGREDIENTS
(serves 2-3)
－Tofu－
300g soybean
2800ml soft water*
15 -20ml nigari (or lemon juice) + 50ml water**
* If you're not sure if your tap water is hard or soft, you can just use distilled water. It might be a bit overkill but it's probably easier than searching specifically for soft water.
** Add more nigari or lemon juice if necessary
－Sukiyaki Sauce－
100ml sake
100ml mirin
100ml soy sauce
30g granulated sugar
－Vegetables－
You can use any vegetables you like. Here'are the ones I used this time
green onion
Chinese cabbage
shiitake mushroom
carrot
thread konjac
very thin, marbled beef slices
INSTRUCTIONS
Tofu
1. Soak the soybeans in water(1200ml). The soaking time depends on the water temperature.
Summer: 25°C/77°F 10 hours
Spring, Autumn: 15°C/59°F 20 hours
Winter: 5°C/41°F 30 hours
2. Blend the soybeans and water in a mixer to make namago. (Namago is the Japanese word for that specific blended mixture of soybeans and water).
3. Boil 1600ml water in a large pan or pot and add the namago and stir for about 10 minutes. Make sure not to burn the namago at the bottom of the pan.
4. Turn off the heat and strain the namago with a filter cloth to get soy milk. The leftover is called okara and it's very healthy. I normally use it for making cookies.
5. Mix 20ml nigari (or lemon juice) and 50ml water together to make the coagulant for the soy milk.
("Your coagulant is a substance that will curdle the soy milk. You can use acid, like lemon juice or vinegar, or salt. Nigari, which is magnesium chloride, is popular in Japan, and calcium chloride is popular in North America."
-huffingtonpost)
6. Heat up the soy milk and keep the temperature at 75°C. Add the nigari-water and stir gently. Do NOT mix too much. Turn off the heat and leave it for about 10 minutes.
7. While resting the soy milk, prepare a container for shaping the tofu. You can make holes in the bottom of a paper drink carton or tupperware, or you can just use your filter cloth and tie it up tighly to shapen the tofu as well.
・ Make sure the temperature is between 70 - 75 degree Celsius with a checker. If the temperature is less or more than that, it will not solidify.
・Use unsweetened plain soy milk (more than 8% concentration of solid soybean if you use soy milk)
・When you add nigari, add it all at once quickly, then stir with a spoon clockwise three times, then stir counterclockwise once. You should be able to tell the tofu started to solidifying a this point. It's be a little thicker than before you started stirring. Then wait for at least thirty minutes.
Sukiyaki Sauce
1. Add 100ml sake and 100ml mirin in a pot and boil it.
2. Add the sugar and soy sauce, and let the sugar melt.
Sukiyaki
1. Melt the beef fat* (or just some slices of fatty beef) and cook the green onion (if you have it) in the sukiyaki pot to add flavor to the sauce. Green onion tastes so much sweeter and more flavorful when you fry it first.
2. Add the sauce and heat it up. Then add tofu, konjac, mushrooms, and anything that takes longer to cook than your other vegetables.
3. Finally, place everything else.
Sukiyaki is a shared Japanese dish where everyone ladles out some of the broth and food into their own bowls. Traditionally, sukiyaki is eaten with a raw beaten egg added to your own bowl, but that might be difficult for you depending on how safe raw eggs are considered where you live. I normally don't eat it with egg so I can enjoy the flavor of beef and vegetables, but if you get a chance to eat sukiyaki, please give it a try!
*In Japan when you buy beef there is usually a bucket nearby where you can also take a cube of beef fat free of charge. If you want you can buy this separately, or you can use beef that has fat on it as well.

@@howru3106 soft water is basically nothing else but water that hasn't flown through limestone or similar rocktypes and has not a lot of calcium solved in it (which makes the water slightly basic, and leaves a residue when you boil it. Also makes coffe/tea taste like warm trash water). If you don't know what this all means, chances are that soft water is coming out right out of your tap in the kitchen

[@JunsKitchen]

So, as some of you might have noticed, I didn’t use raw egg to eat sukiyaki in this video. That’s how it’s eaten traditionally in Japan, but I noticed in many countries there’s a chance of getting salmonella by eating raw eggs, and it’s just not so common from the first place. Also, I like eating and enjoying the taste of vegetables and meat by themselves so I normally don’t eat sukiyaki with eggs.

[@howard6484]

I live in the USA and my mother has cook Sukiyaki since I was a small child. We often ate raw eggs over hot rice. But I've never heard of raw eggs with Sukiyaki. Also to me bamboo shoots are a "must have" ingredient. I just love the bitterness of the shoots, balanced by the sugar in the sauce.

I'm so happy when my favourite youtubers get sponsors

[@faizalf119]

Sun Screen I wish nice youtubers profit more. Too many people giving money to awful celebrities, like the kardashians

[@NuzScarlett]

Faizal F do you know how sponsors work? I'm not the biggest fan of the kardashians either, but celebrities like them don't get free charity money. They get money from brand deals & sponsors by working for them, sure their work is somewhat easier but it's still work. It's called business

[@bakakaka.]

oh my gosh this is so impressive and the ingredients are so fresh, im actually mesmerized with these videos

[@MM-uw5uj]

i have grandparents in japan and this brings so much nostalgia. we visited them about 5 years ago and i remember having this and tonkotsu. i miss japan sm.

[@adamwojcik9331]

Jun, lemme tell ya, you're a saint, man. Woke up not too long ago after sleeping for a bit because I was exhausted and, for some reason, I was stressed out of my mind (almost literally). Don't know if it was a panic attack or something from stress or something else. Anyway, while I shouldn't exactly rely on my phone or KZbin to calm me down, as I was slowly starting to feel better, I opened up KZbin and already hoped to watch something of yours, yours and Rachel's, or Chris's (Broad); seeing a new Jun's Kitchen vid was a godsend. The music was awesome, seeing your fluffy buds cheered me up instantly, and just watching you cook was soothing as all hell. You may think all your viewers enjoy your videos because they love cooking or just watching you do it. Well, let me tell you, bud, it's more than likely that for a good number, your stuff just makes them *feel better*, plain and simple. So thank you for making your videos, Jun. Same goes to Rachel. The fact that your guys are extremely humble and kind and not in any way arrogant is just icing on the cake. I can guess you may never read this, but, once again, thank you both. I'm glad you guys are on KZbin because, trust me, the world's a better place for it. Hope you, Rachel, Haku, Nagi, and my favorite boy Poki have nothing but awesome, happy days. If anyone deserves it, it's you guys.

This is so true. A wonderful Channel.

[@wanderingwallawalla]

Can I just say, I love how you gathered your own shiitake mushrooms, bottled your own fresh spring water, harvested fresh vegetables, and made your own homemade tofu rather than buying everything all from a store - it was so refreshing and beautiful to watch.

[@signaturerush]

[@gavinalamdari8129]

I made this exact recipe and it turned out amazing, the dish itself was amazing for the winter, the best part was enjoying it with friends.

[@DerpyDimentio]

[@vonBelfry]

The cats seem genuinely entertained just watching you make food. They're like us, but all kitty-like!

[@noel9232]

Great personality + great use of music + great editing + great cooking skills + great cinematography + great idea = a really enjoyable video, that makes you wanna cook too and is just super amazing :D

Growing button mushrooms, shiitake and oyster mushrooms for years now. It´s easy and if the other vegetables and fruits don´t grow, the mushrooms will for sure.
