Who says comfort food can't be elegant? Hideki Hiwatashi's one pot beef sukiyaki recipe is a fragrant Japanese hotpot packed with mushrooms, vegetables, tofu and folds of creamy Wagyu beef, simmered in a sweet soy and mirin broth – perfect for warming you up from the inside. The chef recommends serving this straight from the pot, placing it in the centre of the table for everyone to help themselves.
