Who this list is for
This list is for anyone planning to host a Japanese sukiyaki hot pot meal for four people at home. If you want to gather friends or family around a shared tabletop burner and serve a classic mix of beef, tofu, vegetables, and noodles, this checklist is for you. It’s especially useful for first-timers or anyone who wants to make sure nothing is missing for a smooth, enjoyable sukiyaki night.
How to use this list
Start by checking your kitchen for staples like soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar. Then use the list to shop for the fresh ingredients: thin-sliced beef ribeye, firm tofu, napa cabbage, shiitake and enoki mushrooms, scallions, chrysanthemum greens, shirataki noodles, and eggs. Buy the right amounts listed for four servings. Prep everything before your guests arrive—slice the beef and vegetables, portion out tofu and noodles, and set aside the eggs for dipping. Arrange all the ingredients on platters so everyone can cook and eat together at the table.
Common mistakes
Don’t skip prepping and slicing everything before you start cooking. Trying to cut beef or vegetables after you’ve started the hot pot slows things down and makes the meal less social. Avoid using regular noodles instead of shirataki—they hold up better in hot broth. Also, don’t forget the eggs; they are traditional for dipping and add richness. Using too much sugar or sauce can overwhelm the delicate flavors, so measure carefully.
What is on this list
You’ll find thin-sliced beef ribeye, firm tofu, shirataki noodles, napa cabbage, shiitake and enoki mushrooms, scallions, chrysanthemum greens, soy sauce, mirin, sake, granulated sugar, and eggs.

Before you go
Before shopping, review your pantry for sauces and sugar. Make sure you have a portable burner or tabletop stove, and a wide shallow pot for cooking.
