Happy New Year lunch

😋   We had sukiyaki for lunch today.  This is a Japanese meal cooked at the table and people just serve themselves out of the pan, taking whatever they like.  Ingredients include thin sliced marbled beef cut in bite-size pieces, Chinese cabbage, leeks cut in 1 inch pieces, watercress, mushrooms, tofu and sukiyaki sauce.  Rice is served on the side.  It's tradition to crack an egg into a small bowl and stir it up, then dip the vegetables or meat in it before eating.  However, Sara and I opted out of that part.  We have added broccoli in the past and that was good, but it's not part of an 'authentic' Japanese sukiyaki dish.  Here's some photos:



The meat is fried first in a little oil, then the
veggies are added, and the tofu is last to go in.
