when it's cold, eat a pot of cooking, which is delicious and warm. There are many choices of pot cooking, including hot pot, an important representative of Chinese folk food, and shabu-shabu which is said to have originated in the Northeast and spread to Japan. In recent years, shabu-shabu has become more and more popular among Chinese people. What are the differences between hot pot and shabu-shabu? Let the hot pot culture introduce you.

shabu-shabu, compared with ordinary Chinese hot pot, is a simpler way to eat and has a lighter taste. Usually, each person has a special small pot, with miso as the soup base, scalding all kinds of extremely thin meat according to personal preference, and cooking with other ingredients, such as vegetables, mushrooms, tofu and so on, dipped in seasonings.

Ordinary chafing dish means that the main ingredients, usually meat, such as beef, mutton and seafood, are cooked in advance with suitable spices, then served in chafing dish, and then cooked with some auxiliary ingredients such as vegetables and vermicelli. In the case of shabu-shabu, the soup base is cooked and then served. All the ingredients are presented in a fresh state. When eating, they are cooked by themselves. Generally, some sauces are added, such as sand tea sauce, seafood sauce, peanut butter, Chili sauce and so on.

In comparison, the taste of ordinary hot pot is slightly monotonous, mainly because the main ingredients are single, such as mutton hot pot and dog meat hot pot, and then other ingredients are scalded on this basis; The taste selectivity of shabu-shabu is relatively large, and the ingredients are chosen by yourself. One person, one pot, each cooking the required form, so that the crowd is no longer difficult to adjust.

In addition, the shabu-shabu is equipped with a variety of sauces, so consumers can freely choose their tastes according to their preferences, which breaks the traditional style of hot pot, is fashionable, healthy and nutritious, and can enjoy delicious food more conveniently without waiting for a long time to boil a large pot of water. Generally speaking, the biggest advantage of shabu-shabu is fashion, health, hygiene and complete variety, which is characterized by the principle of one person and one pot.
