Shabu Shabu

Shabu shabu is a Japanese dish in the hotpot” style. Thinly sliced meat and vegetables are cooked quickly in boiling water and eaten with a variety of sauces. Traditionally, this dish forms the body of a meal and is cooked table-side by the diners. The dish was developed at the Suehiro restaurant in Osaka, Japan, in the 1900s with origins in Chinese hotpot cuisine. Specialty shabu-shabu restaurants are common in contemporary Japan, and the preparation also is popular in Japanese neighborhoods in urban centers of the US and Canada.
