Shabu Shabu Recipe #378150
Shabu shabu is an Asian version of fondue. Instead of cooking the food in boiling oil, it's cooked in boiling broth. At the end of the shabu shabu meal, noodles are added to the broth and what results is a wonderful soup that has been flavored by all of the foods that went before. Ideally, you should have a Mongolian hotpot or a Chinese firepot for this dish, but you can use a regular fondue pot or chafing dish using canned heat. It's wise to heat the broth on the kitchen stove, then transfer it to the tabletop cooker. From an old newspaper clipping.
