Main Ingredients- Assorted fresh seafood (e.g., shrimp, clams, squid)
- 1 head of napa cabbage
- Assorted mushrooms (e.g., shiitake, oyster, enoki)
- 300g baby bok choy
Broth & Seasoning- 150ml Dashima stock (or store-bought broth)
- Chili sauce, to taste
- 150ml Dashima stock (or store-bought broth)
- Chili sauce, to taste
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
In a large pot, add plenty of water and anchovies to create a savory and clear broth. Making anchovy broth will significantly deepen the flavor of your shabu-shabu soup.
Step 2
If the anchovy broth needs more depth, add about 150ml of Dashima stock or store-bought broth to enrich the soup’s flavor.
Step 3
Rinse the assorted seafood, such as shrimp, clams, and squid, gently with coarse salt. This process removes any impurities and ensures a cleaner taste.
Step 4
Cut the napa cabbage into bite-sized pieces and wash the baby bok choy thoroughly. Our family enjoys a generous amount of crisp vegetables, so we prepared extra. Fresh vegetables enhance the shabu-shabu’s overall flavor.
Step 5
Prepare the assorted mushrooms by cleaning and trimming them. Mushrooms add a subtle aroma and a pleasant chewy texture to the broth.
Step 6
For the dipping sauce, we’ve chosen a store-bought chili sauce, which we find complements the seafood and vegetables beautifully. After trying various sauces, the sweet, tangy, and slightly spicy profile of chili sauce pairs exceptionally well.
Step 7
Once the broth comes to a rolling boil, add the prepared seafood, vegetables, and mushrooms. It’s best to add them in stages, considering their cooking times, to ensure everything is perfectly cooked.
Step 8
Scoop the cooked seafood and vegetables from the pot and dip generously into the chili sauce. The harmony of fresh ingredients and the vibrant chili sauce will create a truly delicious shabu-shabu experience. Enjoy a wonderful meal with your family!
