It’s 20 degrees here and your boiling hot shabu shabu is exactly what I need.

I love hot pots. I have been meaning to get the proper equipment so I can have my own shabu shabu nights.

Hey lauren,
The takuan was a long, kind of shriveled looking type of takuan. Not those thick plump pieces we usually see. It was really interesting, I had never seen it in that shape before either!

The shabu shabu looks great! I’m such a fan of nabe!
Is the takuwan shape like mushrooms? When I first looked at the picture, I thought they were mushrooms.

Hi shawna,
Thanks for visiting and I’m glad you loved this dish. You should give it a try when you have time, it was really easy to make!

Hey rowena,
That picture gets me too, the broth is so tasty at that point!

With friends like that, one would never starve or have a bad meal. Absolutely delicious post as I haven’t experienced shabu shabu in a long time. The last pic with the noodles and drops of oil on the surface is just killing me!
