Shabu shabu意思

"Shabu shabu" is a Japanese term that refers to a type of hot pot dish where thin slices of meat and vegetables are cooked in boiling water or broth at the table. The word "shabu shabu" is onomatopoeic, which means it is derived from the sound the ingredients make as they are swished back and forth in the pot, similar to the sound of "swish swish."

The dish is typically served with a dipping sauce, such as ponzu or goma-ae (sesame sauce), and the cooked meat and vegetables are eaten with rice or noodles. Shabu shabu is a popular dish in Japan and is often enjoyed during the colder months as a way to keep warm.
