Nabe (steam pot) Part 3!!!


I know everyone was waiting for different types of Japanese Nabe.
I would like to talk about Japanese Nabe part 3 today:) This time, I am going to
talk about Shyabu-Syabu. 
Syabu-Syabu is Japanese variant of hot pot. 
I believe many people in United State know about this Nabe recently 
because I see many Syabu-Syabu restaurant in LA, such as, 
Santa Monica, Hollywood, Torrance, or Orange county. 

Syabu-Syabu is very similar with Sukiyaki which I told before in my blog. 
We eat very thin sliced meet, such as, pork, chicken, duck, beef, sirloin, etc with hot water. 
We also eat a lot of vegetable, such as, tofu, cabbage, seaweed, onion, carrot, mashroom, etc. 
The different thing between Syabu-Syabu and Sukiyaki is that Syabu-Syabu is less sween than Sukiyaki because it is used by only hot water. We do not dip ingredient to egg or sweet soy sauce soup. 
After all meet and vegetable are boiled by hot water, we dip them a little bit to Ponzu, or Sesame sauce. 

What is the best way to eat Syabu-Syabu?
I will tell you...
After you finish to eating meat and vegetable, 
Japanese people put noodle or rice into the hot water.
The water will taste really great because meat and vegetable 
make the water taste perfect.
