Directions
-
With a sharp cleaver or chef's knife, slice meat as thinly as possible.
-
Cover and refrigerate until serving time.
-
Cut scallions diagonally in 1 1/2 inch lengths.
-
Cut onions in half lengthwise, then slice them thinly.
-
Cover dried mushrooms with hot tap water to re-hydrate; soak at least 30 minutes, preferably for several hours.
-
Cut tough stems off and discard; leave mushrooms whole or cut in half, quarter if large.
-
Trim stems of fresh mushrooms and wipe clean with damp paper towels; slice.
-
Wash spinach leaves carefully and trim stems.
-
Blanch snow peas.
-
Open and drain can or package of devil's noodles (if using dried bean threads, cover them with very hot tap water and soak for 30 minutes or until plumped up).
-
If noodles are bound by rubber bands, don't remove them until noodles soak; snip into shorter lengths, then cut bands off.
-
Drain and rinse tofu in cool water, then cube.
-
Combine sauce ingredients (beef stock, soy sauce, sugar, sake) in a saucepan and heat just to dissolve sugar.
-
Cool and refrigerate until needed.
-
Arrange meat, suet, and remaining ingredients except eggs and sauce in attractive piles on the platter.
-
Platter can be arranged ahead and tightly covered and refrigerated, except for the onions, which should be cut at the last minute.
-
Meat should be kept separate until serving time because escaping meat juices can stain other foods.
-
Break raw eggs into small bowls at serving time.
