Thai Style Sukiyaki at its Finest

Sukiyaki is originally a delicious Japanese soup with meat, vegetables & tofu and is served in a hot pot. The Thai style sukiyaki has been adapted to please the local taste such as spiciness. There are a few dipping sauces you can use and if it's Thai style, then I love the fresh minced garlic and fresh cut chilies that come with the dipping sauce. The sauce will usually come as a base sauce and you get to add the garlic, chilies and also fresh lime juice. The sauce is a major part of the popularity of sukiyaki. If the sauce is superb then everybody's happy with the meal.

We're visiting Korat for the first time in 4 years so I've been waiting to catch up to all of my favorite eateries. Lucky for us, they are all still open. This restaurant is specifically built for sukiyaki as the gas line is directly at the tables. Everybody has their own cooking style and my style starts with a layer of vegetables and then the marinated meat on top. I'll finish it off with the rest of the vegetables so the meat is in the middle. I do it this way so the meat doesn't burn at the bottom of the pot if the coals are too hot.

After the pot begins to boil, take off the cover and enjoy. Everyone has there own eating style also such as with broth or without broth. Remember that the main part of the meal is to have your own sauce optimized to your liking. If you're ever in Thailand then hold nothing back on your sukiyaki sauce. Awesome you all could join me for lunch in Korat, Thailand.
