Then I threw in all the remaining mushrooms too. Added the napa cabbage and meat too — now just keep it boiling away! Wow, seeing it boil away like this, how could your mouth not water? 😲 (Isn't the visual just insane?!) ![Shabu-shabu pot boiling with ingredients added](https://img.superchart.com/images/yuyu-shabu-naju-hyeoksin-kalguksu-egg-porridge/yuyu-shabu-naju-hyeoksin-kalguksu-egg-porridge-14-fdiey-966.webp) Stir up the egg yolk mixed into the sauce, dunk the meat in deep, and take a bite — oh man, it's so good...👍🔥 ![Meat dipped in egg yolk sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/yuyu-shabu-naju-hyeoksin-kalguksu-egg-porridge/yuyu-shabu-naju-hyeoksin-kalguksu-egg-porridge-15-1xsby-966.webp) The meat dipped in sauce is great, but honestly the fish cake dipped in sauce was just as amazing ㅠㅠ ![Fish cake skewer dipped in sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/yuyu-shabu-naju-hyeoksin-kalguksu-egg-porridge/yuyu-shabu-naju-hyeoksin-kalguksu-egg-porridge-16-1c2q8-966.webp) ![Rice cake with sweet filling inside](https://img.superchart.com/images/yuyu-shabu-naju-hyeoksin-kalguksu-egg-porridge/yuyu-shabu-naju-hyeoksin-kalguksu-egg-porridge-17-eolxj-966.webp) The rice cake had a sweet filling inside too, so biting into it released this burst of sweetness — so good!!! ![Dumplings and shrimp cooked in the shabu-shabu pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/yuyu-shabu-naju-hyeoksin-kalguksu-egg-porridge/yuyu-shabu-naju-hyeoksin-kalguksu-egg-porridge-18-1dxmz-966.webp) The dumplings and shrimp were really good too.

There were so many kinds of mushrooms that they enriched the broth while being incredibly savory on their own 💖 Sweet pumpkin and enoki mushrooms are a must, too. ![Blanched vegetables and meat dipped in the special sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/yuyu-shabu-naju-hyeoksin-kalguksu-egg-porridge/yuyu-shabu-naju-hyeoksin-kalguksu-egg-porridge-21-1kllr-966.webp) Blanching the vegetables and meat lightly and dipping them right into the special sauce filled my mouth with the deep, savory flavor of the broth — genuinely all I could say was 'this is so good'... amazing...👍🔥 ## Finishing the course with kalguksu and egg porridge Of course a shabu-shabu meal needs to end with kalguksu 💖 Take a bite of the chewy, boiling-hot noodles with a bit of kimchi and... ahh, pure bliss ㅠ_ㅠ As I always say, a Korean meal isn't complete without carbs at the end...!! ![Egg porridge cooked as the finishing dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/yuyu-shabu-naju-hyeoksin-kalguksu-egg-porridge/yuyu-shabu-naju-hyeoksin-kalguksu-egg-porridge-22-9v64z-966.webp) I finished with the egg porridge, and the nutty aroma of the egg was really lovely.
