Shabu Shabu

This is a fun savory soup and beef dish with a bit of table-side performance. You can make the dipping sauces up a day or two ahead for easier prep.

Ingredients

Broth

  • 8 cups chicken broth or water
  • 2 teaspoons hondashi or 2 4-inch sheets Kombu, salt rinsed off and 2 cups bonito flakes
  • 3/4 pound beef shaved (use top sirloin for lower fat or ribeye for higher fat)
  • 6 ounces mushrooms cleaned and trimmed
  • 1 cup Napa cabbage sliced thin
  • 1/4 cup carrots sliced thin
  • 2 green onions sliced thin

For Serving

Goma Dare

Ponzu Sauce

Instructions

Prepare the Broth

  • Combine the water and hondashi and bring to a boil.
  • While the water boils, lay the beef onto a serving plate. Set aside.

Prepare the Sauces

  • Stir together ponzu ingredients and set aside.
  • Whisk all ingredients for the Goma Dare together. Thin to desired consistency with water (I like to be able to drizzle it). Set aside.
  • Separate the dipping sauces between two sets of individual serving bowls and set aside (one bowl of each sauce per person).

To Serve

  • Once the broth boils, add the cabbage, mushrooms, carrots, and green onions.
  • Transfer the boiling pot of soup to the table and use chopsticks to swirl the meat in the hot broth (it will cook through in seconds). Dip the meat in sauce and enjoy with furikake, if desired. Only cook one piece of meat at a time to prevent overcooking.
  • Once the meat is cooked, enjoy the remaining broth and vegetables.
