shabu-shabu

Swish-cook Japanese meal

Shabu-shabu is a Japanese hot pot dish where diners swish thin slices of beef or pork through simmering broth at the table, then dip them in sauce.

The name mimics the swishing sound.

Vegetables, tofu, and noodles typically accompany the meat: We ordered shabu-shabu and cooked it ourselves.
