Shabu-Shabu (Seafood) Pinoy Style

Shabu-shabu or hot pot is one of the most versatile dish that you can cook. It is also very simple to make and you might be intimidated in cooking this dish because of the many ingredients that are included in the dish. But actually the only important thing in this dish is how tasty your broth is. Whether you make a soup stock out of beef or pork bones cooked for hours and season with spices and condiments or just buy a pack of instant ramen to make the soup then cook it with the varieties of veggies, meat, seafood, and ready to cook frozen meat balls, fish tofu, lobster balls or squid balls. What I can say that is only limited by your imagination.
