Hot pot's quiet cousin: swish meat in broth for seconds, not hours.
means A Japanese hot pot dish where paper-thin slices of meat (and vegetables) are swished through simmering broth for just a few seconds before eating, usually dipped in a sauce.
from Short for shabu-shabu, a Japanese word born from onomatopoeia — the soft swish-swish sound of meat being waved back and forth through the simmering pot. The dish itself is a 20th-century invention, popularized by a Japanese restaurant that trademarked the name, drawing inspiration from Chinese hot pot traditions but giving it this distinctly Japanese, sound-based name.
