Introducing our shabu-shabu hot pot❗️

The main ingredients suitable for shabu-shabu are
Loin, shoulder loin, belly, and thigh meat.
Loin and thigh are lean and have a light taste.
It goes well with shabu-shabu hotpot.
The belly is fatty and is great for dishes like yosenabe and kimchi stew.
It goes well with stewed vegetables and hot pot dishes.
Shoulder loin generally goes well with a variety of hot pot dishes.
I guess it's pork sukiyaki 🍲 after all!
Why not try alternating it with beef?
