This Mushroom and Prawn Sukiyaki Hot Pot is a delightful take on a classic Japanese-style sukiyaki. The combination of earthy mushrooms, tender prawns, and fresh vegetables simmered in a savoury-sweet broth creates a warming, aromatic meal that’s perfect for sharing. Serve with rice or udon noodles for a comforting dining experience that’s both light and flavourful.

Ingredients:

300g prawns, peeled and deveined
200g firm tofu, cut into cubes
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup mirin
1/4 cup sake
3 cups water
2 tbsp sugar
200g mushrooms (shiitake, enoki, or button), sliced
1 onion, sliced
1/2 cabbage, chopped
1 carrot, julienned
2 spring onions, sliced, for garnish

Instructions:

1 Prepare the Broth
In a large pot, combine soy sauce, mirin, sake, and water. Add sugar and stir until dissolved. Bring to a gentle simmer, allowing the broth to develop its rich, savoury-sweet flavour.
2 Add Vegetables and Mushrooms
Add the mushrooms, onion, cabbage, and carrot to the pot. Cover and let simmer for 5–7 minutes until the vegetables soften slightly.
3 Cook the Prawns and Tofu
Add the prawns and tofu cubes to the broth. Continue simmering for another 5–8 minutes, or until the prawns turn pink and the tofu is heated through. Garnish with fresh spring onions and serve with rice or noodles.
