GREAT EATS HAWAII: SHABU SHABU DINNER AT HOME

SHABU SHABU

DINNER AT HOME

We were honored with the presence of baby Reagan (named after Ronald Reagan) for dinner at our house. Reagan is just two weeks old and one handsome little Republican. Dinner started with Pineapple and Bacon Sausage and Pork with vegetable dumplings. Served with a sweet dipping sauce. We enjoyed some fresh Ahi Sashimi and then started our Grill Pan dinner that featured fresh vegetables, seafood and steak. All cooked up on an indoor grill pan placed in the middle of our dining room table. This type of dinner is not only delicious but good fun for everyone. You cook right at the table. We heat up the pan and then add butter. When the butter melts, add the vegetables, seafood and beef. Simply salt and pepper to taste and then dip into Batayaki Sauce (Soy Sauce, Ginger Juice, Lime Juice, Brown Sugar, Water, Daikon and Dashinomoto Seasoning). Our Grill Dinner included Napa Cabbage, Assorted Bell Peppers, Asparagus, Bean Sprouts Maui Onion, Eggplant, Zucchini, Thinly Sliced Rib Eye Steak, Shrimp, Scallops, Langostines, Portobello Mushrooms and Teriyaki Chicken. Wow....This dinner is amazing, fun and super delicious.
Traditional Shabu Shabu uses a rich broth to cook the meats, seafood and vegetables. Our home version is a bit different but we like it.
