Shabu-Shabu

This traditional Japanese shabu-shabu is a wonderful way to enjoy a sociable, interactive meal that is naturally low in sugar and carbohydrates. Named after the 'swish-swish' sound the ingredients make as they cook in the simmering broth, this dish focuses on fresh, high-quality ingredients. Thinly sliced rib-eye steak is paired with earthy shiitake mushrooms, crunchy Chinese leaf cabbage and silky tofu to create a light yet deeply satisfying dinner that celebrates clean flavours.

As a diabetes-friendly option, this hot pot is packed with lean protein and high-fibre vegetables, making it an excellent choice for those monitoring their blood glucose levels. Serve it alongside zesty ponzu and nutty sesame dipping sauces for a boost of umami. It is an effortless way to bring a taste of Japan into your home kitchen while maintaining a healthy, balanced lifestyle.
