π―π΅ Have you ever heard of Sukiyaki?
Most Australians know sushi, ramen and teriyaki...
But Sukiyaki is still one of Japan's best-kept food secrets.
The easiest way to describe it is:
β¨ Japanese Teriyaki Fondue β¨
Thinly sliced beef, vegetables, tofu and mushrooms are cooked together in a sweet and savoury soy-based broth.
In Japan, Sukiyaki is traditionally eaten by dipping each bite into raw egg.
But because Australians don't usually eat raw eggs, I serve it with a silky slow-cooked egg instead.
When the sweet broth mixes with the creamy egg yolk...
wow.
It's rich, comforting and perfect for winter.
When we recently held our first Sukiyaki Night on the Sunshine Coast, many people tried it for the first time.
The reaction was:
"Why don't more Australians know about this?"

Have you ever tried Sukiyaki?
Or would you give this Japanese fondue a go?

Tomorrow is finally the day! π₯πΊ
Iβm excited to be part of the Noosa Food & Wine festival and Iβm incredibly grateful for the support from the amazing team at Heads of Noosa Brewing Co.
As a special festival collaboration, the first 50 people who order my gyoza will receive a FREE Heads of Noosa drink token (only value at Heads of noosa Taproom)!
Even better, our stalls will be right next to each other, so you can enjoy freshly cooked Japanese gyoza together with Heads of Noosaβs Japanese Lager β a perfect festival pairing.
A huge thank you to James and the Heads of Noosa team for their generosity and for supporting local businesses. Itβs wonderful to work alongside people who genuinely care about our local community.
If youβre coming to the festival, please stop by and say hello. Iβll be serving gyoza, bone broth miso soup, and bone broth curry, and Iβm looking forward to meeting lots of new and familiar faces throughout the day.
See you tomorrow at Noosa Food & Wine Festival!
