Whenever the weather gets even a little chilly, I weirdly start wanting shabu-shabu haha. ![Visiting Shabu Torang Jang-an, a solo shabu-shabu spot in Jang-an-dong](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangan-dong-shabu-spicy-broth-set/jangan-dong-shabu-spicy-broth-set-02-1m366-900.webp) Wanting a warm meal, I went to Shabu Torang Jang-an Direct Branch. This is a place where you can eat shabu-shabu solo, so it's fine to come alone, and since everyone can pick a different broth, it's also good to come with a group and eat to your own taste! ![Clean interior of Shabu Torang Jang-an with individual pot tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangan-dong-shabu-spicy-broth-set/jangan-dong-shabu-spicy-broth-set-03-p4or1-900.webp) ## Inside Shabu Torang in Jang-an-dong: the dining room and four broth choices Shabu Torang Jang-an is a solo shabu-shabu setup where each table gets its own pot. The place is clean! You can comfortably cook your own shabu-shabu from start to finish. There's also a group table that seats 4, but everyone was eating so I couldn't get a photo of it~ Looked like a good spot for groups too. ![Menu board at Shabu Torang listing basic, spicy, mala and sukiyaki broths](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangan-dong-shabu-spicy-broth-set/jangan-dong-shabu-spicy-broth-set-04-bszid-900.webp) There are several broths to choose from too. Basic broth, spicy broth, mala broth, and sukiyaki broth~ It's kind of hard to decide between these lol. That day the weather was chilly and I was craving a spicy broth, so I went with the spicy one. You can also add meat/vegetables! ![Extra cooking add-on options at Shabu Torang](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangan-dong-shabu-spicy-broth-set/jangan-dong-shabu-spicy-broth-set-05-bo6om-900.webp) There are various options you can pick for extra cooking add-ons! ![Add-on cooking menu including tteokbokki and pasta at Shabu Torang](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangan-dong-shabu-spicy-broth-set/jangan-dong-shabu-spicy-broth-set-06-1a2qz-900.webp) At Shabu Torang in particular you can add tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes) or pasta to cook afterward, so you can have a hearty second round! ![Aprons provided at the entrance of Shabu Torang Jang-an](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangan-dong-shabu-spicy-broth-set/jangan-dong-shabu-spicy-broth-set-07-1teme-900.webp) At the entrance there are aprons ready to use. Feel free to grab one if you need it! ![Spicy broth shabu-shabu set with vegetables and beef chuck flat](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangan-dong-shabu-spicy-broth-set/jangan-dong-shabu-spicy-broth-set-08-685z8-900.webp) ## Spicy broth shabu-shabu with vegetables and beef chuck: what it costs and how it tastes > Spicy broth shabu-shabu + vegetables + beef chuck flat ![Table spread with ₩8,700 spicy broth shabu-shabu plus vegetable and beef chuck flat add-on](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangan-dong-shabu-spicy-broth-set/jangan-dong-shabu-spicy-broth-set-09-16hb7-1200.webp) What I ordered was the spicy broth shabu-shabu at ₩8,700 plus the vegetable + beef chuck flat set at ₩4,000. Shabu-shabu really does need plenty of vegetables and meat haha. They put the vegetables into the pot one by one and brought it to a rolling boil. ![Solo shabu-shabu pot boiling with vegetables added in](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangan-dong-shabu-spicy-broth-set/jangan-dong-shabu-spicy-broth-set-10-1wnmq-900.webp) With mung bean sprouts, cabbage, mushrooms and various other vegetables going in, the pot filled up fast. And then they added the meat too. ![Beef chuck flat meat added into the pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangan-dong-shabu-spicy-broth-set/jangan-dong-shabu-spicy-broth-set-11-1dv3k-900.webp) The beef chuck flat wasn't too fatty and had a clean taste, which I liked. For the spicy broth, a separate spicy sauce comes on the side so you can adjust the heat to your liking. ![Separate spicy sauce served alongside the boiling spicy broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangan-dong-shabu-spicy-broth-set/jangan-dong-shabu-spicy-broth-set-12-1gk5e-900.webp) Lightly cooking the meat in the spicy broth and eating it with the vegetables was delicious. Eating it with the sprouts in particular was my favorite. ![Chopsticks picking up cooked meat together with mung bean sprouts](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangan-dong-shabu-spicy-broth-set/jangan-dong-shabu-spicy-broth-set-13-1b316-900.webp) Crunchy sprouts with tender meat, dipped in chili sauce — my chopsticks just kept going back for more haha. It was also good dipped in soy sauce, and the taste changed a bit depending on the sauce, so I tried dipping in this and that. ![Shabu-shabu meat dipped into chili sauce and soy sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangan-dong-shabu-spicy-broth-set/jangan-dong-shabu-spicy-broth-set-14-n96ml-900.webp) And even though it's called spicy broth, it wasn't overwhelmingly hot — more of a warm, pleasantly sharp flavor that's easy to eat, so I kept spooning up the broth too. This kind of soup dish feels perfect for these chilly mornings and evenings these days. ![Pot full of spicy shabu-shabu loaded with extra vegetables and meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangan-dong-shabu-spicy-broth-set/jangan-dong-shabu-spicy-broth-set-15-1p1fa-900.webp) Definitely add the vegetables and meat~ great value for the price! ## Cream pasta after shabu-shabu at Shabu Torang? One of the finishing menu items at Shabu Torang Jang-an is the cream pasta at ₩2,900. After shabu-shabu I usually think of kalguksu (noodle soup) or porridge, but here they have cream pasta. ![Ingredients for the ₩2,900 cream pasta at Shabu Torang](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangan-dong-shabu-spicy-broth-set/jangan-dong-shabu-spicy-broth-set-16-178mc-900.webp) I was curious so I ordered this too lol. You add cream sauce to the leftover broth and then put in the pasta. As it bubbles away, it turns into something completely different from the original spicy broth. ![Cream pasta finished cooking in the spicy leftover broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangan-dong-shabu-spicy-broth-set/jangan-dong-shabu-spicy-broth-set-17-1rlyr-900.webp) Taking a bite, the nutty, smooth flavor of the cream sauce combined with a hint of the spicy broth's kick — the two flavors coexisting!! I'm definitely ordering this again next time. ## Finishing with 1,500 won egg porridge The egg porridge at Shabu Torang Jang-an is ₩1,500. Still, the last course of shabu-shabu has to be porridge, right? Lol. ![Rice, egg and seaweed flakes, ingredients for the ₩1,500 egg porridge](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangan-dong-shabu-spicy-broth-set/jangan-dong-shabu-spicy-broth-set-18-pi7xz-900.webp) This time I finished with the ₩1,500 egg porridge. They added rice to the leftover broth, then egg and dried seaweed flakes, and let it simmer. As the egg cooked into soft curds and the broth thickened, a nutty egg porridge was complete! Eating a spoonful while hot, it was soft and savory — a hearty way to finish to the very end. ![Finished egg porridge with soft, fluffy egg curds](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangan-dong-shabu-spicy-broth-set/jangan-dong-shabu-spicy-broth-set-19-is2du-900.webp) Even though I was already pretty full after the shabu-shabu and pasta, the porridge still went in lol. I guess Koreans really do need rice as the final course haha. ![The meal wrapped up after shabu-shabu, pasta and egg porridge](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangan-dong-shabu-spicy-broth-set/jangan-dong-shabu-spicy-broth-set-20-1iu5s-900.webp) ## Is Shabu Torang Jang-an worth it? Final verdict That day I ate spicy shabu-shabu loaded with extra vegetables and beef chuck, and finished with cream pasta and egg porridge on top of that — a truly filling meal that warmed both body and mind.
