So before anyone starts begging for a recipe: I go to my local Asian grocery and buy “Little Sheep” brand hot pot (same as shabu) soup base. I get the original and hot varieties. I mix each with 8 cups water (the package says 6, but it comes out way too salty that way). I bought the electric shabu shabu pot off Amazon. I buy several different Asian greens: usually yu choy, bok choy, and crown daisy greens. Mushrooms: white and brown shiimeiji mushrooms, cloud fungus, and when available golden chanterelles. There are always udon or phö noodles too. The meat I buy pre-shaved and frozen. We like Angus ribeye and lamb shoulder.
Place everything on platters, bring broths to a boil, and start cooking at the table. Enjoy conversation, as this process can take a while, eat, repeat!

I think [shabu shabu is a dashi miso broth](https://www.justonecookbook.com/shabu-shabu/#wprm-recipe-container-59816) so yours is most similar to chinese hot pot since little sheep is chinese broths.
Either way awesome meal
