作法
- 把醬油、味醂、清酒和糖混入小壺中——這就是warishita調味液。備用。
- 把所有切好的蔬菜、豆腐和蒟蒻絲擺在大盤上。牛肉另放一盤，肉片微微疊起。視覺擺盤是這道菜的一部分。
- 把厚鐵壽喜燒鍋放在桌邊瓦斯爐上。中大火加熱至非常熱，再用筷子把牛脂塊在鍋面摩擦，直到鍋面油亮並聚出一小灘油。
- 把兩片牛肉短暫一面煎二十秒——應上色但仍粉紅。撒一大匙糖在上面，倒入100毫升warishita。鍋會發出嘶聲；讓它沸騰。
- 加入一份大蔥、香菇、豆腐和蒟蒻絲，分區擺在鍋中。最上面再放牛肉。讓所有食材慢煮五分鐘；湯隨用餐進行濃縮。
- 每位食客在小碗中打入一顆蛋輕打散。用筷子從鍋中夾起食材，沾入冷蛋液後吃——蛋既冷卻入口的食物，又裹上絲滑濃郁。每輪上桌前才加春菊，葉片才能保持鮮綠。
Common questions
Can 壽喜燒 be made ahead?

Is 壽喜燒 spicy?
壽喜燒 as written is mild to mildly warming — the heat comes from aromatics rather than chili. Add fresh sliced chili or chili oil at the end if you'd like to push it spicier.
Is 壽喜燒 vegetarian or gluten-free?
This recipe is suitable for most diets. If you have specific restrictions, the substitutions section in each ingredient note covers the most common swaps.
How hard is 壽喜燒 to make at home?
壽喜燒 is approachable for a home cook with basic stove skills — total time about 45 minutes, no special technique required.
Can 壽喜燒 be scaled up or down?
This recipe is written for 4 servings. To scale, multiply each ingredient proportionally; the cooking times stay the same up to about double the volume. Beyond that, expect to cook in batches because of pan size and heat distribution.
文化背景
壽喜燒是關東（東京地區）火鍋——關西（大阪）版會先把肉以油煎過，再逐次加調味料，而非預先混好的warishita。生蛋沾醬是壽喜燒區別於其他日式火鍋的技術細節；日本食安規定要求食用生雞蛋的雞蛋必須無沙門氏菌，日本超市的雞蛋會相應標示。壽喜燒是冬天料理、年末聚會料理、月底發薪日料理——一鍋小慶祝。
