SUKIYAKI COOKING
Sukiyaki is a traditional Japanese dish with meat and an assortment of
vegetables served with rice. It is usually done in a deep skillet and prepared
right at the dinning table. Tasty, nutritious, and fun, Sukiyaki is perfect for a
romantic dinner for two, or even a small family gathering.
BEEF SUKIYAKI
1.5 lbs. Beef (roast)
1 Onion
1/2 Head of Chinese Cabbage
2 or 3 Green Onions
4 Fresh Shiitake Mushrooms
1 pkg. Tofu
5 Tbsp Sugar
5 Tbsp. Japanese Rice Vinegar
4 Tbsp. Soy Sauce
Cut the beef into thin slices and cut the onion in half. For each onion half,
cut into five or six slices. Cut the green onions into two-inch sections.
Remove the stems from the Shiitake mushrooms. Cut the tofu into two-inch
cubes, and cut the cabbage into bite-size pieces.
Heat up the Sukiyaki pot. Cook the beef evenly on both sides. Do not
overcook. Add the ingredients in this order: Japanese rice vinegar, sugar,
then soy sauce to taste. Put in half of the ingredients. Cook for three to five
minutes or until the food is cooked. Serve directly out of the pot. Do not
over cook. Add in the remaining ingredients. Enjoy the dish immediately.

GRILLING
Grilling is easy, and the flavor is enhanced by caramelized grill markings.
Juiciness, speed of cooking, and lower fat content make grilling an essential
part of a healthy lifestyle.
CHICKEN SHISH-KEBABS
1 pkg. Bamboo Skewers (or metal)
1 lb. Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
1 Sweet Yellow Onion
1 Red or Green Bell Pepper
1 Can Pineapple Chunks
20 pcs. Large Mushrooms
2 cups Marinade or BBQ sauce
Cut the chicken breasts and vegetables into one-inch by one-inch pieces.
Alternate the chicken and the vegetables onto the skewers. Apply the sauce
to both sides of the skewers using a basting brush.
Heat the pan to 350º - 375º. Place two to three shish-kebabs into the pan.
Cook each kebab for approximately three to five minutes on each side. When
cooked, place the skewers on a serving plate or a bed of rice.
HELPFUL HINTS
For more flavorful shish-kebabs, let them soak in the marinade or BBQ
sauce overnight in the refrigerator.

RECIPES

SLOW COOKING
A hearty bowl of soup or stew is always welcome at any table. Be creative
and use various left-over meats and vegetables with your favorite stock and
create your own unique recipes. When preparing soup or stew, try to allow
extra time for it to simmer. This will allow flavors to blend and meat to be
more tender.
HELPFUL HINTS
To thicken your stew, mix 1/4 cup of flour with enough water to form a thin
paste. Gradually add it to the stew, stirring until thickened. If using fresh
parsley or herbs in your recipe, add them in the last few moments of
cooking to preserve flavor. Save any left-overs for the next day. The
flavors will increase overnight in your refrigerator. Canned stew tomatoes or
water with bouillon seasoning and spices added will make great stock-
starters for soups and stews.

STIR-FRYING
Stir-frying has quickly become a mainstay in many diets. It is a fast, easy,
and delicious way to prepare an endless variety of foods. By quickly cooking
food at high heat, both juices and nutrients are retained.
Try combining your favorite meat, chicken, or shrimp with a mixed variety of
vegetables and serve for a real treat. Often times, odds and ends you have
in your refrigerator can make an excellent stir-fry meal.
HELPFUL HINTS
Add your ingredients that take the longest to cook first, then add remaining
ingredients, if any. Rapidly stir the food until cooked according to your recipe.
We recommend using wooden utensils for best results and to protect your
inner pot surface. Add your sauce ingredients and mix well in the last few
moments. Serve hot.
RECIPES

CHICKEN STIR-FRY
1 lb. Boneless/Skinless Chicken Breast (cut into 1/2-inch strips)
2 Tbsp. Lime Juice
2 tsp. Chili Power
1 cup Fresh Mushrooms
1 cup Bell Pepper, Red or Green (cut into thin slices)
2 Tbsp. Vegetable Oil
1/3 cup Picante Sauce
2 Tbsp. Chopped Fresh Cilantro
1 Medium Tomato (chopped)
Mix lime juice and chili powder in a medium bowl and stir in the chicken
strips. Cover and refrigerate this mixture for one hour.
Heat the pot to 325º. Using one tablespoon of the oil, stir-fry the chicken
with the marinade until the chicken is white, then remove the chicken from
the pot. Using the remaining tablespoon of oil, stir-fry the mushrooms and
bell pepper for two to three minutes or until crispy but tender. Stir in the
chicken, picante sauce, and cilantro.

RECIPES

STEAMING
Steam cooking is one of the easiest, most healthful and convenient methods
of cooking. It allows you to preserve more flavor, texture, vitamins, and
nutrients than other cooking methods.
HELPFUL HINTS
All vegetables should be thoroughly cleaned and washed before steaming.
Thin, leafy vegetables such as cabbage do not require as much water as
root vegetables, such as carrots or turnips. You might want to use a heat-
resistant plate or metal rack with items being steamed. Do not remove the
lid during steaming, as moisture will escape and the cooking time will have to
be extended.

RECIPES

STEAMED BEEF WITH BROCCOLI
1 lb. Beef (sliced thin against the grain)
MARINADE
2 tsp. Soy Sauce
1/2 tsp. Sugar
1 tsp. Minced Ginger Root
1 tsp. Sesame Oil
1 cup Broccoli Floret
1 tsp. Wine
1 clove Garlic (minced)
1 tsp. Cornstarch
1 tsp. Oyster Sauce
Combine the sliced beef with the marinade in a plate. Put one cup of water
in the pot, then place the plate in the cooker. Steam for 10 minutes. Open
the lid and arrange the broccoli around the outer edge of the plate. Cover
and steam for an additional 10 minutes.
