Shabu Shabu


Shabu-shabu means “swish-swish,” referring to the swishing action when you cook a very thin slice of beef in hot


water.


On a portable range, place a medium-sized pot (1/2 gallon should do). Place a couple of slices of kombu (a sort of


kelp) and cover with cold water. Gently bring the water to a boil and remove the kombu just before it actually starts


to boil. When the water is boiling very, very gently, you’re set.


On your table you should have: (for 4 people)


Ingredients


* 1 lb very thinly sliced beef (sirloin), preferably grain-fed. Beer-fed


Kobe beef is the best. I MEAN VERY THIN (less than 1/16 inch)


* 8 shiitake mushrooms


* 1/2 lb enoki mushrooms


* 1/2 lb shimeji mushrooms


* 1/2 lb shirataki


* 1 lb chinese cabbage


* 1/2 lb watercress, to substitute for spring chrysanthemum leaves


* 1 lb tofu, cut in 1 in. cubes, pressed and drained


* any other ingredients you want to use


Dipping sauce


* In a small bowl, you should have soy sauce and lemon juice 2:1, as a


dipping sauce.


Simply take one of the items, swish it around in the hot water for from a few seconds for beef to a few minutes for


vegetables. Serve with hot steamed rice.


Enjoy!


Sukiyaki


1 piece beef suet, about 2″ x 2″ x 1/2″ (enough to lightly grease hot pan)


<
p>1 Lb. lean beef, sliced paper-thin across the grain, then cut into bite-sized pieces


1 bunch Scallions, cut into 2″ lengths, both white and green


1 block of fresh tofu, cut into bite sized squares


1-12 oz. can of shirataki (yam noodles) (This is optional as they are very expensive on the east coast)


1-16 oz. can of bamboo shoots, sliced thin


1/2 Lb. fresh bean sprouts


8 fresh brown mushrooms, sliced about 1/4″ thick


1/2 c. Soy Sauce


1/2 c. Sugar


1 c. Water


2 T. Sake, Mirin or dry sherry


Heat skillet until the suet sizzles when it touches. If the suet does not sizzle, remove it and heat the pan further.


Move the suet around the pan, putting a coat of oil over the whole surface. Place about 1/3 of the sliced beef in a


corner of the pan, mix it about a bit to brown for about 1 minute. Add the begetables, 1/3 of each in their own


‘corner’ of the pan, except the scallions. Pour sauce (see following recipe) over these but not so much that the


vegetables are swimming (about 1/2 the sauce). Bubble for 4-5 minutes, gently turneverything over and place


scallions on top in a neat pile. Bubble 4-5 minutes more and it is ready to serve. Carefully place 1/4 of the meat in


each person’s bowl.


Then immerse the scallions in the pocket you have just created in th skillet. Serve the other ingredients and by the


time you have served all, the onions/scallions should be wilted and cooked just right. Spoon a bit of sauce over all.


Start the next batch of sukiyaki when the first half of the dish has been served.


SAUCE:


Combine the soy sauce, sugar, water and mirin in a bowl or pitcher. Stir well, set aside for cooking/serving.


Sukiyaki is generally served with rice.


Also, to be totally authentic people serve themselves out of the bubbling mass in the center of the table (on a hot


dish). Also, each person has a little bowl with raw egg in it. You take the boiling hot item from the central cooker,


and dip it in the egg. This transfers the heat to the egg so you don’t scald your mouth.
