All you need is a small pot and maybe (you can do this over the stove if you want) a portable stove. Pick up the veggies and meats or whatever you would want for dinner. Have these materials cut into thin or small pieces so it would be easy to cook. I recommend that the meats are thin into thin bacon size strips, it makes it easy to cook and to seal in the favor. In addition, prepare a dipping sauce of your choice, I recommend Japanese ponzu, a light, delightful citrus-based vinegar sauce & goma-tare, a rich, favorable sesame sauce.
This step is optional, but you can prepare a mixture of chicken stock & water as broth (and once again, your choice) or just use plain water. Place the small pot over the stove and wait till boil and then submerging the meat and vegetables you want and eating it when it's cooked.
You might think, why is this method so popular in Asian countries, isn't this just boiling meat? When you cook using the Shabu-Shabu method, you're actually just cooking the meat & vegetables quickly in its natural juices and flavor. In addition, the water broth starts to collect all the different flavors of the meat and veggies like a big rich soup, so as you cook, everything will start tasting great. Sounds strange, but give it a shoot and you might like it!
Not to mention, this is a very healthy way to cook things, and you can eat whatever you want! ^_^
