Wow! This is embarrassing! I haven't posted in two months. Okay, okay, I have been busy. Shabu shabu is the magic word today. Are you craving red meat but still want to keep your girlish figure? Make it shabu shabu style. I have done this with lamb twice and yum. So when you go to the grocery store you buy lamb very thinly sliced. I am talking like thin like paper. Of course, I am exaggerating when I say like paper but you get the idea. VERY THINLY SLICED.
To cook the lamb. Boil water. Once boiled, get a slotted spoon or ladle and chopsticks. Pick up a piece of the meat with chopsticks and place on top of the spoon. Keeping the meat on the spoon, holding it with the chopsticks, dip into the boiling water. While it is cooking, move the meat around making sure the whole piece is cooking. You will see the meat quickly turn dark as it cooks. Try to keep it slightly pink because since it is so thin, it cooks very quickly. It literally cooks in minutes. I would say about 1-2. Take the meat out of the water and place it on a plate and move on to the next piece. Serve with a low fat seasoning such as soy sauce.
