Japanese Shabu Shabu Recipes

Steps:

• Arrange beef on a platter; spinach, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, cabbage, and onions on another platter; and tofu on a third platter or with the vegetables.
• Combine soy sauce, lemon juice, and 1/2 cup chicken broth in a bowl; portion dipping sauce into 6 very small bowls.
• Pour remaining broth into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Transfer hot broth to a fondue pot.
• Serve with chopsticks or forks. Individuals cook their own portions of meat, vegetables, and tofu in the boiling broth, then dip in dipping sauce and eat.

Steps:

• Bring the broth to a boil in a large pot on the stove.
• Arrange the beef on a platter.
• Arrange the tofu, cabbage, peppers, carrots, mushrooms and green onions on a separate platter.
• Transfer the broth to an electric fondue pot, electric wok or traditional hot pot set on the dining table. Add the coriander (cilantro) and simmer for 5 minutes before you start to dip. Use fondue forks to dip the food into the simmering broth.
• Cook the beef to desired doneness, the tofu until heated through and the vegetables until tender-crisp.
• Serve with rice and dips.
