Quick Shabu Shabu Recipe

First, let’s take a look at this vibrant dish.

Ingredients

200g thinly sliced beef (or pork)
1 cup napa cabbage, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 cup mushrooms (shiitake, enoki, or your choice), sliced
1 cup tofu, cut into cubes
1 cup udon noodles (or rice noodles)
4 cups dashi broth (or chicken broth)
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons mirin
Green onions, finely chopped (for garnish)
Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

In a large pot, bring the dashi broth to a simmer over medium heat. Add the soy sauce and mirin to enhance the flavor.
Once the broth is simmering, start adding your vegetables. First, add the napa cabbage, as it takes a little longer to cook.
After a minute, add the mushrooms and tofu, allowing them to soak in the savory broth.
Next, add the slices of beef (or pork). Swirl them in the pot until they turn a beautiful shade of pink and cook all the way through.
In the meantime, cook the udon noodles separately according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.
Once everything is cooked, assemble your dish by placing a serving of noodles into a bowl, followed by the broth, meat, and vegetables.
Garnish with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for an extra crunch.
Serve hot and enjoy the communal experience of dipping your ingredients into the flavorful broth.
