Drunken Monkey Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 have you had the koren bbq thing? it's like shabu shabu in that you pick little bits of things to cook, the difference being taht you have a live grill in front of you to burn the bits of meat/veg instead of the hot soup pot. excellent stuff. post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."

DLopez Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 What is Shabu Shabu? From what Drunken Monkey says, it sounds like what we call "Mongolian BBQ" down here in Houston - you pick the veggies, meats, and sauces, and the chef will stir fry it all up together for you.

Ironberg Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 Sounds like I'm missing out on something...

Drunken Monkey Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 not quite. you have the cooking thing in front of you so you do it all yourself. shabu shabu is a hotpot of stock and also there should be somewhere for you to fry stuff as well. i know it sounds like hard work but there is nothing like thin slither of beef slapped onto the hot plate, drizzled with soy and then whisked straight into your mouth just as it is cooked.... what you described sounds a lot like teppan (the hot-plate thing with the flying salt+pepper pots, flashing blades, manic chopping, little shouts of 'hup' and flames) post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."

Budderfly Posted May 16, 2004 Author Share Posted May 16, 2004 Shabu Shabu is where you get a plate of thin slices of raw beef and pork and you cook it in a pot of boiling water in the middle of the table. There's special Shabu Shabu sauce for the pork and the beef gets dipped in Soy Sauce mixed with garlic and lemon juice. You also have spinich too that you cook in the pot and dip in the soy sauce mix. There's also these small stringy Japanese mushrooms you do the same to as well. When you're done the meat, the water in the pot has the meat juices and you add your soy sauce mix. Throw in some udon noodles and now you have Shabu Shabu soup!

Budderfly Posted May 16, 2004 Author Share Posted May 16, 2004 Maybe there's different variations then. I've had teppanyaki before too. Also delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
