Optional Ingredients and Substitutions
Beef: round or sirloin is usually used. You can use any part as long as they can be skewered.
Shiitake mushrooms: Shiitake mushrooms can be used instead of portobello. You will need more numbers since shiitake mushrooms are smaller. If using dried shiitake mushrooms, soak in water for 30 min. Wash and squeeze water out before using them.
Rice cake and crab meat can be omitted.
You can use other meat or vegetables you love.
Vegetarian option:The recipe works great without beef or crab meat.
