OUR WMF TIP IN ADVANCE:
Shabu Shabu is a Japanese dish where thin slices of meat and vegetables are briefly cooked in a pot of boiling broth and then dipped into various sauces. The name "Shabu Shabu" comes from the sound of the meat being swirled back and forth in the broth. If you like, you can serve the broth directly in the pot on the table and offer the toppings separately.
Step 2
For the Broth:
Soak the kombu in water for at least 30 minutes.
Slowly bring the water with the kombu to a boil. Before it boils, remove the kombu, and add the bonito flakes. Bring to a boil and let it steep for 15 minutes.
