You have to work the part: Geisha style
Set a fun table with a contemporary edge to bring an ethnic feel to the meal.
Everyone needs the challenge of the Chop Sticks!
You can use any vegetables you'd like.
Be creative with the sauces.
My husband and I had the pleasure of living in Tokyo for 2 years in the mid 70's. We fell in love with the culture of the country and the food. Here is one of our favorite meals.
Shabu Shabu (swish swish) for swishing sound it makes when you drop the food into the broth to cook. Had this meal with family recently and brought back so many wonderful memories of Japan.
Go to the butcher have him thinly slice some rib eyes or any tender meats you like. Remember paper thin slices is what you'll need for Shabu Shabu. Get 2 cartons of chicken broth, soy sauce, sesame seed sauce, green onions, Chinese cabbage, carrots, yellow onions or onions of your choice, jasmine rice, Japanese odon noodles and of course the meat, pork, or shrimp if you'd like. Grab some Japanese beer, sake or a nice middle of the road red wine. Dessert: sherbet ice cream and a Fortune cookie for good luck.
