Shabu-Shabu!

Hi!

Yesterday I ate cold Shabu-Shabu salad at late night.
Because I had a part time job until p.m.11.
I ate fried chicken and rice whose board at the workplace while I was having a break.
But I was not still full, so I ate it.

This is simple and easy to make.
You need to prepare...
1. some lettuce leaves
2.tomatos(1/4)
3.cucumber(1/4)
4.pork ribs(2 or 3)

1.First, wash these vegitables and cut them with favorite sizes.
Regarding lettuces, just tear them by hand.

2.Put water in pan and boil it. After come it to a head, put some dried bonito(kastuobushi) and soy sauce dip(menstuyu) a little bit.
*turn off the switch after come to a head.

3.Parboil the meats with the boiled water. After that, chill it by cold water.

4. Finally, serve vegitables prettily on dish, and put the meats on it.

5.To your liking, eat the salad with sesame dressing, juice pressed from bitter oranges(ponzu) or dressing you made by yourself!

If you want to eat a lot, don't mind quantity you eat!


Here,
I'd like to explain briefly about shabu-shabu.

The origin seems that there is a pan dish, which use lanb in Beijin.
One of the Japanese man who was army surgeon went to there and he brought down it to Japan after changed lamb to beef.
And we have said shabushabu since 1952.

Now we can eat shabu-shabu anytime, anywhere.
There are some shabu-shabu restaurant in my town.
Currently, we can eat as much as we like for around 2000 yen.
So I often eat out there when I want to be a bit rich.

Do you like it?
