what does shabu mean in japanese? like shabu shabu?

Answer 1

Actually ----

'Shabu Shabu' (note how the word has occured twice here) can mean the 'sound word' used to describe swishing in a pot... Like 'swish swish' or 'stir stir'... TRUE..

'Shabu' alone generally refers to Heroin (the drug) - often used by the underworld in Japan, night life etc.

'Shabu Shabu' is also the name of a delicious Japanese hot pot...

Probably best used twice, rather than once, if you know what I mean!!!!

Answer 2

Answer 3

It is the sound made when you stir the pot.

Shabu Shabu with Dipping Sauces Recipe Summary Difficulty: Easy Prep Time: 40 minutes Yield: 4 servings 2 pounds prime quality beef, cut into paper thin slices, about 8 by 3-inches 12 shiitake mushrooms, wiped, trimmed and crisscrossed on cap with a knife 6 green onions, sliced diagonally into 2-inch lengths 1/4 pound spinach, washed and stems trimmed 1 block of tofu, about 10ounces, cut into cubes 1/2 pound canned bamboo shoots, whole, washed, cut into 1/4-inch slices 2 quarts basic dashi, recipe follows, or light beef stock Arrange the meat attractively on a round platter, so that each slice can be easily picked up with chopsticks or a fondue fork. Arrange vegetables on a second platter. Fill a hot pot or nabe pot 2/3 full of dashi set on a burner on the table. Each diner picks up a piece of meat from the serving platter and swishes it around in the simmering broth until the red meat becomes pink, or cooked to the degree desired. Diners may alternate between meat and vegetables. The tofu breaks easily, so be careful when adding it to the pot. Diners eat from the pot, dipping the food into the dipping sauces which are placed in individual cups at each person's place. BASIC DASHI: 3 quarts cold water 3 ounces giant kelp, (kombu) 3 ounces dried bonito flakes Combine the water and kelp in a large pot. Bring the water to a boil, removing the kelp just before water boils since it emits a strong odor. If the fleshiest part of the kelp is still tough, return it to the water for a few more minutes, along with a little cold water. (Soft kelp means sufficient flavor has been extracted.) Remove the kelp and bring stock to a full boil. Add 1/4 cup cold water to bring the temperature down quickly and add the bonito flakes. Bring to a boil, and then immediately remove from the heat. (If bonito flakes boil too long, the stock becomes bitter.) Allow the flakes to settle to the bottom of the pan, then filter the stock through cheesecloth. About 2 quarts DIPPING SAUCE #1: 2 cups basic dashi 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce 2 tablespoons mirin White vinegar to taste Combine the dashi, soy sauce, and mirin in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Let boil for a few minutes to reduce by 1/3, then remove from heat and cool. Stir in vinegar to taste. Pour sauce into individual cups. DIPPING SAUCE #2: 1/2 cup white sesame seeds 1/2 to 1 cup dashi 1/4 to 1/2 cup dark soy sauce 2 tablespoons mirin 1 tablespoon sugar 1 tablespoon sake Cayenne pepper to taste Toast the sesame seeds in a heavy pan until lightly browned. Transfer warm seeds to a mortar and grind to a paste, or whirl in a blender. Add the dashi, soy sauce, mirin, sugar and sake, and mix well, using a spatula to blend and smooth the sauce. Add cayenne to taste. Pour sauce into individual cups.

Answer 5

In Japanese (and in Chinese too) the idea of 'shabu shabu' is 'brush brush'. This is how one eats the food from the hot pot. I know, because there are dozens of these restaurants where I live. The 'swishing' or brushing action one does while eating this food. In Mandarin Chinese (shua shua) guo (pot).

Answer 6

In the superstore, fruits are usually chosen far too soon. Some are rocks, many are wrong. Some of the fruit and vegetables are right (zucchini, onions, garlic, lettuce, greens, and a few others) so I'd have to go with vegetables.
