CHESTNUT PORK BELLY SHABU

Chestnut pork belly shabu is a type of shabu-shabu dish made with thinly sliced pork belly. Pork belly is a fatty and flavorful cut of meat that is often used in various dishes, such as bacon and char siu. 

Chestnut-fed pigs are more flavorful and juicy. Compared to regular pork, they are slightly sweet and have higher levels of healthy fatty acids - both mono and polyunsaturated acids.

The pigs are raised respectfully, which contributes to animal welfare and meat quality.

To enjoy pork belly shabu, the pork belly is thinly sliced and cooked quickly in a simmering broth at the table. The broth can be flavored with different ingredients such as dashi, soy sauce, and mirin to enhance its flavor. The cooked pork is then dipped into a variety of sauces and eaten with rice, noodles, and vegetables.

Pork belly shabu is a popular dish in Asian cuisine, particularly in Japanese and Korean cuisine, and is often enjoyed as a social and interactive meal with family and friends.
