Left over shabu-shabu for lunch.

What is that? ???

I linked it to a Wikipedia article here, but I will also quote an excerpt:

Shabu-shabu.

Shabu-shabu, also spelled syabu-syabu, is a Japanese variant of hot pot. The dish is related to sukiyaki in style, where both use thinly sliced meat and vegetables, and usually served with dipping sauces. However, it is starkly different in taste; shabu-shabu is more savory and less sweet than sukiyaki. It is considered a winter dish but is eaten year-round.

The dish is traditionally made with thinly sliced beef, though modern preparations sometimes use pork, crab, chicken, duck, or lobster. Most often, tender ribeye steak is used, but less tender cuts such as top sirloin are also common. A more expensive meat, such as Wagyu, may also be used for its enhanced flavor and texture.

Shabu-shabu is usually served with tofu and vegetables, including Chinese cabbage, chrysanthemum leaves, nori (edible seaweed), onions, carrots, shiitake mushrooms and enokitake mushrooms. In some places, Udon and/or harusame noodles may also be served.

Basically, it's thinly sliced beef and several vegetables cooked in a simmering broth.  I didn't have any chrysanthemum leaves, so I left them out and added more bok choy.  I used transparent bean thread noodles instead of udon noodles, because I like them better.

I cooked the rest of the beef and vegetables and put them in the refrigerator, which is how I had leftovers for lunch.

I just finished what was left of the shabu-shabu for dinner, BTW.

 :P

Can I move in?
I came to this world with nothing
and I leave with nothing but love,
everything else is just borrowed.

No comments about my posts, please.  :laugh:

Define "comments."
What do you mean by "posts,"  anyway and why are they yours?
How are you using "about," and can you clarify it a bit?

... and what in the blue fuck makes you think you can interject a "no" into the stream.

"please,"

Well, OK, if you answer my questions.

Always sounds disgusting, to me.
Like a mixture of crap and spam.

It actually sounds like a wonderful family "event."

I have an indoor grille that I sometimes use for a carpet picnic and we prepare our own grilled goodies as we go, Japanese style. I often splurge and purchase some seafood to go with the "event."

We have eaten shabu-shabu in a Japanese restaurant, but it is a lot easier for us to just make it at home than worry about our daughter being too close to the flames in the middle of the table.  We have a gas grill outside, which we have used to make teriyaki, and we have even made tempura, but not as well as Japanese restaurants make tempura, unfortunately.


Can I move in?

I think that our daughter would drive you and your wife crazy, but you can come over for dinner sometimes, if you like.
