Broths for Shabu Shabu

It’s super cold and we’re gonna get hit with an atmospheric river this week, which means it’s hot pot season while we hang out indoors!

After eating at Mikiya Wagyu Shabu House last month with the Boyz, I was inspired to make some Japanese inspired broths for Shabu Shabu at home with the girls. I went with umami, rich, and savory Miso and Sukiyaki broths. These quick broths were super easy to make. I mixed some dashi powder with water and added the rest of the broth ingredients from there. Broths done within 15 minutes. The girls loved these broths and had fun dipping and cooking all their favorite hot pot proteins, veggies, noodles in it.
