Many types of hot pots exist, but one of the most popular in Taiwan and Japan is called shabu-shabu, which is said to have been created in Osaka in the 1950s. Featuring thinly sliced cuts of beef (the most common ingredient), pork, chicken, other meat or fish, and vegetables, the dish got its name from the sound of the meat in the bubbling broth, as “shabu” indicates a swishing sound.
