Hi everybody
welcome to Mrs. Lin's Kitchen
Today, I'm going to show you
how to make beef shabu shabu
shabu shabu is a very
popular Japanese dish
eaten during the winter time
the name of shabu shabu
comes from the beef
swishing in the pot
so let's get started
here is the ingredients overview
with shabu shabu
you can prepare as much ingredients as
needed to feed your party
there are two major equipments
that you will need for
making shabu shabu
the first one is the portable gas stove
the second one is the
peking pot
Peking pot
is the traditional pot for making shabu shabu
it is hollow inside
and traditionally
you would put coal right over here
and then cook shabu shabu this way
nowadays, you can use portable gas stoves
as alternative
start by preparing your broth
you will need kombu
which is an edible kelp that
is mainly used for soup broth
you will only need about 8 inches of kombu for
your broth
you can add more or less
to your tasting
be sure to wipe down the
kombu with a wet paper towel
before putting it into your shabu shabu
you'll also need about four cups of water
let the kombu soak in the water
for about 30 minutes
now to prepare the vegetables
you can cut the napa cabbage
into your desired size
for carrots, it's best to cut them into long sizes
so they will be easier to grab
you will want the same with the green onions
spinach can be left as is
without the root
or cut in half
now chrysanthemum leaves
can be difficult to find
and usually are only in Asian markets
but they can be optional
you can add more spinach to your shabu shabu
to replace them
next is firm tofu
you can cut it into large or small pieces
just as long as you can easily grab them
with shitake mushrooms
you can leave the stems on or cut them off
we will definitely want to have
the little X or star shape on top and
they're usually seen shabu-shabu
inoki mushrooms can be another difficult ingredient
to find since they're usually only in Asian markets
but they can be an optional ingredient
now to prepare the vegetables
for the shabu shabu sauce
you'll first need
minced green onions
be sure to prepare enough everyone
next is a daikon radish
you can use your cute ginger grater
to get the desired texture for the sauce
if you can't get your grocery stores butcher
to slice your meat into thin strips
for you
the best way to cut it would be
with slightly frozen meat
be sure to cut as thin as possible
so the meat cooks quickly in the pot
there are two different kind of sauces
for eating shabu shabu
the first one is the shabu shabu sauce
the second one is the sesame sauce
traditionally, you eat vegetables
with the shabu shabu sauce
and the meat with sesame sauce
my favourite is a shabu shabu sauce
but you can eat up whatever way you like
shabu shabu sauce and sesame sauce
can be found in the Asian aisle of any grocery store
to enhance your shabu shabu sauce
add the minced green onions and daikon radish
into the sauce
we also add some chili powder
to give it a little kick
sesame sauce can be eaten as is
since it has a very strong flavor
once 30 minutes has passed
bring your water with the kombu to a boil
once it's there
you can now remove the kombu
and begin adding in your vegetables
be sure to leave your spinach
chrysanthemum leaves and crystal noodles out
until you are ready to eat
since they cook very quickly
make sure you only add
what you and your party are going to eat
a little bit at a time
as you do not want to overcook anything
I like to eat shabu-shabu with friends and family
because this is a good socializing dish
and I'm just adding the glass noodle
right now
I like to add glass noodle first
because it cooks longer
I'm adding the meat
and I'm adding spinach
and chrysanthemum leaves
last because the two leaves cooks very quickly
so by the time the meat is ready to be taken out
those veggies should be
ready as well
and we wanted to swish the meat
inside the pot
until it turns pink and that's
when it's ready to be eaten
so now the meat turns pink
so I'm going to take it out
it's ready to be eaten
I'm taking the spinach out as well
and you can actually take everything out at this time
because everything is ready
by now
I hope you enjoy watching me make shabu shabu today
