Shabu? Shabu!
Jan. 29th, 2007 03:26 pmIt occurs to me that if I buy a hot plate, I could have shabu-shabu at home.
Hmm. This could be interesting. Low-sodium beef broth with some szechuan peppercorns, chilis, and star anise might closely approximate the "Chinese Spicy" broth I get at Shabu-Zen. Small amounts of seafood can easily be bought. I can get chinese cabbage, mushrooms, carrots, tofu, corn, and other veggies easily as well. Dipping stuff...chilis, garlic, scallions, soy sauce, and...what's that other stuff? The oily paste? If I could figure that out I would be all set.
