This is what I ate tonight! :) Yum! It was a big pot of vegetable and beef broth, which we mixed lots of fresh veggies and thinly sliced beef (Australian beef, to be specific--they are still extremely afraid of getting mad cow disease from our USA beef, but that's another blog entry all together). After we scooped out the veggies and cooked the meat, the ajuma (lady/waitress) came and mixed some noodles into the broth (which continued to get more flavorful). After we ate those, she came back and scooped out the broth leaving only about an inch in the pot. She added rice to the mixture, as well as fresh mint leaves and a couple of other spices. The result? Delicious! It was like three meals in one! I want to eat shabu shabu again and again! It's fun to say too! :) I heard that there are a couple of shabu shabu restaurants in LA, and I wouldn't be surprised to find one in the lovely, cultured city of Minneapolis! :)
