Tips for cooking
This time, we used an 8-inch diameter sukiyaki pot. By mixing the ingredients of Kanto-style sukiyaki sauce (warishita) beforehand, it becomes easier to cook. If you are not good at spicy taste, please adjust the amount of chili bean sauce (tobandjan) to your taste. Please dip in a raw egg if you like. *Detailed instructions on raw eggs to be added.
