샤브샤브 - Excellent Food

After school, some of us had Shabu Shabu (샤브샤브) for dinner. It's a meal where we have a hot pot with temp control right at our table. One side of the pot is a spicy broth and the other side is a savory broth. We simply throw the ingredients into the pot and let it boil in the broth. The wide variety of foods we could use is what made this meal so phenomenal.

 First we threw in basil & mint leaves, onions, seaweed, and shallots for more flavor.
 Along with thinly sliced beef, there are a few dumplings, mushroom shoots, and some tasty flour batter with various spices. We also ordered a seafood plate which had several choices: shrimp, clams, baby octopus, shellfish, squid, and oyster. - Mmmm!
 Here we are beginning to throw in more ingredients for cooking. Whoever thought of a catchy name like Shabu Shabu for a dish is a genius!
Some of the food is ready to eat in as little as a minute. As you can see, we also put in some tofu along with Udon noodles (which equals amazing). This meal looks delicious right? I'm definitely coming again for more!
