If you have never tried a shabu shabu give it a go with a group of you.
Its a fun way to eat (and drink)
Tips
Dont use too many bitter tasting green vegetables or vegetables that will soggily fall apart else anything goes.
European type cabbage has a strange taste this way and in my opinion destroys the stock so use the nappa cabbage..
Some of the asian greens are very very bitter but I forget which ones, so dont use too many.
any edible fungus is fine
Keep the stock on the weak tasting side else by the end of the meal it can get very strong.
I only used beef and pork but chicken, lamb, some shell fish also works (dont think they are classical though)
The dipping sauces are very strong on their own but dont worry as the stock thins down the taste as you dip and eat.
Hi Bob, not too much bok choy it makes the stock bitter, yes, chinese cabbage/wombok/nappa cabbage. its a lot milder and doesnt go bitter.
