Basic Sukiyaki Sauce
Of all the nabemono, sukiyaki is the most popular in my family and one of the easiest to prepare. The ingredients are easy to find and the fact that it can be made ahead of time makes pulling the actual meal together a quick - come home from work and make it in 20 minutes - kind of dinner.
