Shabu Shabu with IONA Steamboat Skillet

Shabu Shabu is a type of Japanese hot pot with thin sliced meat and assorted vegetables. The word Shabu Shabu means “swish swish” which describes the light swishing of the meat in the boiling broth.Originated from China, Japanese shabu shabu is slightly different with the ingredients, sauce and condiments. Beef is the most common meat used but pork is also used. The meat is always sliced thin. Shabu is an easy and fun way to eat a variety of ingredients all cooked in the boiling hot soup.
