SHABU-SHABU

We were gathering at Shabu-shabu restaurant for my birthday celebrations.

Shabu-Shabu is a Japanese dish that is very popular overseas

People take the beef out as soon as its color changes and eat it dipped in their favorite sauce, such as soy sauce with citrus juice or sesame sauce.

Tonyu Nabe

This is a Japanese Donabe.

My daughter seems to get  stomache bit. So i need to serve her soft and hot meal tonight. I decided to make Tonyu Nabe. Tonyu is soy milk and makes warm her .

mix with cabbage or any other  vegetables,and simmer with soy milk. Adding to rice and udon noodle a little together is my original idea for her .Considerlingly rice porridge is good for everyone!! 

Hope she will get  better soon.

Take care everyone!!
