Hot pot or shabu shabu is easy to get in cities like San Francisco and Boston. There are Japanese, Korean or Mongolian restaurants who offer it for an okay price! Have you ever thought about doing it at home though? It's easier than you think :)

I bought a portable stove on Amazon (for only $15) and a Japanese pot (for only $10). After that, all you need are veggies, meat and good company (maybe some good beer and sake too).

What you need:
  • Any veggie, how ever much you want. (I had lettuce, spinach, carrots, radish, zucchini)
  • Mushrooms
  • Meat (I had thin sliced pork, some people like beef too) 
  • (Optional) Seafood
  • Tofu
  • (Optional) Noodles (e.g. udon)
  • Sauce (I bought ponzu and sesame sauce, both available on Amazon or Japanese supermarkets)


Yup. That's it! 

For your broth, you can get creative (kimchi, soy milk, tomato sauce...); but since I was out of most ingredients, I just poured some sake in water, added a pinch of salt and some dashi.

You get to eat a lot of vegetables, and this dish warms you up. It's perfect for those chilly nights which make you want to feel cozy.
