I can’t decide which hot pot I like the most, but I think Sukiyaki is probably my husband’s favorite. With Sukiyaki you dip the meat and vegetables into raw egg as you eat. So we typically go to our nearby farmers market to buy fresh eggs which we can safely eat raw. We don’t use eggs purchased from the local grocery stores, out of an abundance of caution.

Doesn’t the meat in the raw egg look so yummy? I think many Americans are fearful of raw egg, but you should definitely try, it taste so good! But just make sure you buy fresh eggs from a local farmers market. And be sure to check with them that it’s safe to eat raw.

Pork is healthy for you, because it has the nutritional value that heals your tiredness, so I love the combination of this with so many green vegetables. This is well kept secret of the Okinawan people. You know they live for a very long time right? 😉 They love pork.

This Cold Pork Shabu Shabu is completed with this Goma sesame dressing. This dressing goes really well with pork and chicken as well as most of the vegetables. If you are interested in the dressing, here is the recipe:

Like this one:

Tabletop Stove

These are very common in Japan and used throughout winter when the entire family gathers around a nice warm pot of Japanese soul food.

And ideally, you want to use clay hot pot like this:

Alternatively, you could use a deep frying pan/skillet instead of clay hot pot.

Deep Frying Pan

Most of the effort is in the preparation, which is quite easy. Just chop and clean vegetables. Don’t you love the colors of the meat and vegetables in this photo? I’m getting hungry just looking at this photo while writing this post. I guess I will need to make a Japanese hot pot again soon.

The tricky part is finding a butcher or grocery store to slice the Shabu Shabu meat for you. Japanese supermarket is the easiest option, as you can find prepared meat, specifically for Shabu Shabu.
