One of my Fav Summer Evening Meal: Cold Shabu Shabu

Very easy to prepare Cold Shabu-Shabu for your home summer meal:

[What you need]

• VERY thinly sliced pork meat (as much as you want)
• Cucumber, Carrot, Tomatoes, Tofu, and Shiso (Japanese herb, if you have some)(as much as you want).
• To make how to make the dipping sauce, please see below.
  

[Direction]

1. Thinly slice cucumber, carrott and shiso.
   
2. Cut the tofu and tomatoes.
   
3. On a boiling water, cook the thinly sliced porn until cooked (does not take much time. Be careful not to over-cook it!). Place the cooked meat in a cold water (in a bowel). Drain the water.
4. Arrange, tofu, cooked pork meat, cucumber, carrot, shiso and tomatoes. Done!

Here is how to make kick ass dipping sauces:

[White Sesame Seed Dipping Sauce-can beat the 5 star quality sauce by Nobu of NYC (hahaha)]
-Grind white sesame seeds so that you will have at least 3 TBS ground sesame seeds. (perhaps, put the sesame seeds in a very durable plastic bag like the zip-lock type, and use a bottom of (very difficult to break something like a bin) to crush the seeds).

-Add following: 1/2 TBS of Rice Vinegar, 1/2-1 TBS of Lemon Juice, 1 TBS of Soy Sauce, 1 TBS of Mirin (if you have any), 2-3 TBS of Sugar, 1 TBS of CrushedGarlic. 1 TBS of Milk and 1/4-1/2 tea spoon of Salt. Mix well-ready to be used.

[Soy & Vinegarrette Sauce-SIMPLE!]

Mix soy sauce and vinegar: 1 Soy Sauce: 3 Rice Vinegar Ratio -done to be used. LOL

With all the right ingreidents, I bet even a single bachelor can prepare this healthy and yummy meal for a hot summer evening. Enjoy!
