Name: Ultimate Cold Shabu-Shabu (Special Sesame Sauce, No Sesame Paste Needed)
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 15 min
Total time: 25 min
Yield: 2 servings
Cuisine: 和食
Ingredients: Thinly sliced pork belly (shabu-shabu cut) to taste; Lettuce 120g; Shimeji mushrooms 1/2 cluster; Maitake mushrooms 1/2 pack; Salt to taste; Cooking sake to taste; Water 1L; Ground sesame seeds to taste; Mayonnaise to taste; Sugar to taste; Soy sauce to taste; Ajinomoto (MSG) to taste; Sesame oil to taste; Vinegar to taste

A cold shabu-shabu where the pork is gently poached in 75-80°C water after the heat is turned off, rather than boiled. Cooking the mushrooms first gives the poaching liquid plenty of umami that transfers to the pork, and instead of shocking it in ice water, the pork is spread on a tray and covered with plastic wrap to chill, which keeps it from drying out. The sesame sauce needs no sesame paste - it uses the golden ratio of ground sesame plus sesame oil.
