Cooking tips 💡
- Since thin shabu-shabu beef is used, there's no need to boil it long in the pot—simply pouring the boiling broth over it in the serving dish is enough to cook it tenderly.
- Adding a single piece of ginseng as garnish lets you achieve a professional-grade restaurant look at minimal cost.
