Shabu Shabu

Last night my sweetie and I tried Shabu Shabu for dinner at a new restaurant not too far from here. Shabu Shabu is prepared in a pot on a burner in front of the diner - by the diner! I ordered fish and vegetables. After the contents of the pot are boiled to perfection, you remove them and eat them with dipping sauces and white rice. It seemed like a very healthy way to prepare food and I thought it was delicious, too.

After reading Wendy's blog today, I realized that Shabu Shabu is very similar to the Chinese Hot Pot. I'm going to have to try that sometime, too. I am fortunate to live close to a very large Asian community in which there are many Chinese, Korean, Filipino, and Indian markets and restuarants. It makes for some good eating!
