Notes

Cooking Tips of Shabu-Shabu Pinoy Style:

  1. Prep and Arrange Ingredients: Before starting your Shabu-shabu cooking adventure, make sure to prep and arrange all the ingredients in an organized manner. This will ensure a smooth and enjoyable cooking process. Slice the vegetables, prepare the meats and seafood, and arrange them neatly on separate plates for easy access during cooking.
  2. Don't Overcook the Ingredients: Shabu-shabu is all about maintaining the freshness and texture of the ingredients. To achieve this, avoid overcooking them. The vegetables should be slightly crisp, while the meats and seafood should be cooked just until they are tender and no longer pink. Remember to cook in small batches to avoid overcrowding the pot, which can lead to uneven cooking.
  3. Enjoy the Broth as a Soup: While the focus of Shabu-shabu is often on the ingredients, don't forget to savor the flavorful broth as a delicious soup. After cooking the ingredients, ladle the broth into individual bowls and enjoy it alongside the cooked ingredients. You can even customize the broth by adding condiments like soy sauce, chili oil, or sesame oil to suit your taste preferences. The broth adds an extra layer of enjoyment to your Shabu-shabu experience.
