Shabu Shabu at Home
At Home Shabu Shabu, If you follow me, you know this is a staple in our home weekly. I definitely think anyone that loves to eat Shabu Shabu should try this at home. Its 1/4 of the price as if you went to the restaurant and it’s just as good.
So I have a pot that I purchased from the asian market next to my house but it was $100 and it wasn’t exactly a shabby pot, I found this one on amazon, its cheaper, has great reviews, and this one is actually a shabby pot.
For the veggies, at the restaurant we go to , it serves enoki mushrooms, spinach, napa cabbage, tofu and your choice of protein.
This is what I like to use for my veggies:
Spinach
Napa Cabbage
Mushrooms
Enoki Mushrooms
Bok Choy
Broccoli
Noodles:
Udon and Ramen Noodles
Protein:
1.5lbs Shabu meat
1 package of salmon
1 package of tofu
Get your Shabu meat from your local asian market, the markets I go to normally have thin shabu meat already cut. I get the the prime meat, trust me there is a difference, if you are trying to save on a couple dollars you will notice the meat is a little tougher, for a family of 5 (3 adults and 2 kids) I get about 1.5 lbs of meat, and also I get 1 package of sushi grade salmon. At times I also get tofu :)
For your sides:
Green onions
Garlic
Sesame oil
Chili oil
Soy Sauce
Rice
DIPS:
Hope I was able to break this down easy enough for you to have your own shabu night with your family.
