Updated: Jun 25, 2022

When I am thinking to have Shabu - Shabu but I don't want to go out. So, I decided to have home cooked Shabu - Shabu at my home instead. I would get up early in the next morning to go grocery shopping to get all ingredients for this menu. I found out that the most ingredients for this menu, I can get them at Asian grocery store for everything. At the same day I have this menu at the evening. It is more delicious when I cook and eat at home with my favorite family members.



Shabu - Shabu or しゃぶしゃぶ in Japaness, it is a Japanese Nabemono hotpot menu of thinly sliced meat and vegetables boil in Dashi broth, and serving with Sesame Dipping Sauce. This menu have good combination flavor from Miso paste, vegetable and bone broth, I use as our house style Shabu - Shabu.

  • 1 strip of Kombu Seaweed, about 3-4 inches

  1. In a deep soup pot, added water into the pot and bring to boil at high heat. When the water start to bubble, then reduce heat to medium and added the pork bone. Leave it boil for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour. After that took the bone out from the pot.

  2. In the same soup pot, added Kombu Seaweed, Shiitake Mushrooms, and Miso Paste. Let it simmer for 20 minutes and the Dashi Broth is ready for Shabu - Shabu.
