This style of shabu-shabu emphasises original flavours and usually uses water or clear broth with simple spices as the base of the pot to highlight the freshness of the lamb. When shabu-shabu is served, thin slices of fresh lamb are quickly cooked in a boiling hot pot and served as soon as they change colour, making the meat tender and tasty. Traditional condiments including sesame sauce, chive blossom and fermented bean curd add layers of flavour to the shabu-shabu.
