◆ What are the tips for shabu-shabu?

There is a big trap lurking when sucking cheese. Because it melts easily, it can fall to the bottom of the pot. If something that has fallen is burnt or hardened at the bottom of the pot, it will be difficult to clean up afterwards. Is there a way to solve it?

The En-eating editorial department went to "Shabu-shabu On-yasai" where "Cheese Shabu-shabu" is offered to suck mozzarella cheese in order to hear the tips that will not fail. Cheese lovers seem to be checking it out, and some people enjoy it with meat and vegetables.

First of all, I will eat it. I had cheese shabu-shabu with "Sichuan style hot pot dashi" and "12 kinds of medicinal incense hot pot dashi", and it goes well with both mozzarella cheese. The medicinal hot pot dashi, which is characterized by the unique scent of 12 kinds of medicinal dishes, also matches the cheese unexpectedly. This is Umai. But after all, I dropped the shabu-shabu cheese to the bottom of the pot many times. Mottainai!

Tip 1 "Shabu-shabu on a ladle"

When I asked the staff for tips, I picked up a ladle that was prepared with the pot. If you shabu-shabu on this, the ladle will pick up the cheese even if it melts down, so you can enjoy it comfortably. I (the author) also tried it, but it is certainly convenient. You can take the soup on a plate. If you don't want to take the soup, you can put a ladle next to the cheese and lift it up like a goldfish scooping to drain the water, and you can just take the cheese on a plate.

Tip 2 "Wrap in meat and vegetables"

Another trick is to wrap the cheese in meat and vegetables. It's harder to melt than sucking cheese alone, and you can enjoy the harmony with the ingredients, so it's a method of two birds with one stone. You can enjoy a more comfortable moza shabu-shabu life by combining it with a ladle.

The recommended ingredients for wrapping are pork loin and lettuce. Shabu-shabu other ingredients that take longer than cheese, wrap the cheese while using the ladle well, and re-immerse it in the soup. It seems that the time it takes for the cheese to melt depends on the type of soup and its temperature, but it will thicken in a few seconds. If you pull it up at the right time, you can enjoy the difference in texture, such as the cheese flowing out of the lettuce. It is also an ant to wrap ingredients other than cheese together.

By the way, according to the person in charge of menu development, after trying various types of cheese, he decided to commercialize mozzarella cheese, which has the best compatibility with soup stock and ingredients.

◆ Which pot is suitable for moza shabu-shabu? Ranking TOP5 without permission

Now that you've learned the tricks of shabu-shabu, put it into practice. I collected the standard flavors of hot pot and added "Nabe soup ranking that suits Moza shabu-shabu".

First, prepare the cheese. For shabu-shabu hot vegetables, fresh mozzarella cheese sliced thinly (about 2 mm?) Was used, but it is very difficult for an amateur to cut it to that thinness. Therefore, we recommend the ones sold in blocks. You can buy it at large supermarkets and specialty stores. The flavor is different from the fresh type, but it was easier to slice. However, after all it was difficult and it became quite thick ...

I'll try both types because it's a big deal. Not good at slicing

Once you have the cheese, all you have to do is shabu-shabu.

1st place "Tomato pot"

The hot pot soup ranking that goes well with moza shabu-shabu, the first place is decided to be "tomato hot pot". The combination of tomato and cheese does not come off. The one I made is more like stewed tomatoes than a tomato pot, but I think the richer tomatoes are better suited.

Tomato + cheese goes really well

It's a little far from shabu-shabu, but for shime, risotto with plenty of mozzarella cheese! Mozzarella cheese, which is easy to melt, makes an outstanding performance.

The soymilk pot, which has a high female approval rating, ranks third. Unlike spicy, the mellow taste goes well with cheese. It may be the most delicious when it is simmered to reduce the water content and become thick. Eat with plenty of soup.

5th place "Mizutaki"

Moza shabu-shabu can be eaten deliciously even in a "Japanese" pot made from kelp soup stock. I put pork this time, but next time I would like to try seafood. Because it is simple, the taste of the soup stock that comes out of the ingredients is important.

It is also recommended to put it on the ingredients, cook it, and eat it together.

Looking at the compatibility with cheese, it may be a little unsatisfactory because it is too refreshing. I think cheese goes well with the strong soup.

I continued to make moza shabu-shabu every day to write this article, but I was very happy. When I remember that moment when the melty cheese spreads in my mouth, I want to eat moza shabu again. I'm sure cheese has immeasurable magical power. It is a painful place that the price of cheese is rising due to the depreciation of the yen and the high price of raw materials, but for the hot pot life, be sure to try mozzarella cheese. Don't forget to prepare the ladle!
