In Fall 1991, instead of going back to dorms, my friends at UC Santa Cruz moved into apartments. My on-campus apartment (#233, above) had a gas stove, which encouraged my friends to come over.
As college kids, we did not have a lot of money. Thus, we had to be economical, when it came to food. Hot pot was easy, brought multiple friends and housemates together, and did not necessarily have to cost too much.
So we started with broth, and then added veggies and fish cake.
But in those days, when you went grocery shopping, stores often did not label what the meats were for. One of my friends' mom said, "Be sure to get the right meat for hot pot."
Above, the slices were not for hot pot, so we had to cook them on the stovetop.
Thankfully, more stores label their meats. These are for grilling, not hot pot.
These are for stir fry; you don't want grill marks on them :-)
Meats for sukiyaki are to be boiled, but are thicker and chewier than those for hot pot.
Ah, here we go, thinly-sliced meats for hot pot (also called "shabu shabu"). Guess what we are having for Thanksgiving dinner?
