    Start the pot and color it: I didn't add soy sauce, soy sauce, etc. to this dish (it is said that if you eat it, your skin will turn dark, hehe). Stir fry the pan and add oil (don't put too much oil, otherwise the oil soup will be greasy when stewing the beef.) After the oil is boiled, add appropriate amount of brown sugar and rock sugar. Function: Brown sugar enhances color, rock sugar enhances brightness.

    This step depends on the person: If you like to eat a pot of paste, add potatoes and carrots after the beef is stir-fried and colored. Because beef stewed for a long time, other ingredients are usually added when the beef is almost stewed.

    Transfer to the soup pot and simmer slowly over medium heat. My private soup pot is an electric rice cooker. Hehe, I use it for saucing beef hoof, stewing pork knuckles, and stewing fish. The fire Hou is just right, so there will be no smoke. We have traveled everywhere with me for many years.

  • Northeast China's Mizhuanzhi Niu Nan Make Tips

    Tips: 1. When choosing beef, brighter is not necessarily better. Currently, some beef on the market is alarmingly red, so it is best to avoid choosing that kind. 2. After cutting the beef into chunks, add yellow wine or cooking wine and starch to marinate for 5 minutes to remove the gamey odor and tenderize the meat. 3. Cut all ingredients into uniform sizes to prevent some from being undercooked while others become mushy. 4. Do not add dark soy sauce or soy sauce; this is healthier. 5. Salt must be added at the very end, just before the dish is finished.
