Thai suki

Thai Suki (also known as Suki in Thailand or Suki Yaki) is a popular Thai dish, influenced by the Japanese dish called Sukiyaki. This hot pot style dish is commonly enjoyed in restaurants as well as at home, and is known for its distinctive spicy and sour flavor.

History

Thai Suki originated from the Japanese dish Sukiyaki, which was introduced to Thailand by Japanese immigrants. The dish was adapted to suit Thai tastes, resulting in a unique blend of flavors that is distinctly Thai. The name "Suki" is derived from "Sukiyaki", reflecting its Japanese origins.

Ingredients

The main ingredients of Thai Suki include a variety of thinly sliced meats (such as pork, chicken, or seafood), tofu, noodles, and an assortment of vegetables (such as Chinese cabbage, morning glory, and celery). The ingredients are cooked in a hot pot with a flavorful broth, which is typically made from a combination of soy sauce, sugar, and mirin.

Preparation and Serving

To prepare Thai Suki, the ingredients are first arranged on a platter. The broth is then heated in a hot pot, and the ingredients are added one by one, starting with the meats and ending with the vegetables and noodles. Once all the ingredients are cooked, they are typically served with a special sauce made from sesame seeds, soy sauce, and chili.

Popularity

Thai Suki is popular throughout Thailand, and is commonly served in restaurants that specialize in hot pot dishes. It is also a popular choice for home-cooked meals, particularly during the cooler months.
