Main ingredients needed

Right side is the new taiwan sauce im using if u dont have can use the Chu Hao Sauce (3-4 spoons required) in making it as chinese style.

This sauce came out on July 2018. Its quite similar to ones i have in taipei so if have a craving when u not in taiwan can use this 😀

Peel and cut radish in big cubes. Throw them in boiling water for 2 mins. take out and rinse in cold water. Do not boil too long as will cook again later.

Cut beef brisket and tendons in big chunks (will shrink down after cooking) Pick ones with less fat.

New pot of water add ginger. Wait until boiling and throw in the beef and tendons for 8 mins.

Take out and rinse well. By doing this the blood taste of the beef can be removed.

I prefer less fat so i will scissor out the white fat while rinsing my beef after the 8mins boil. Drain well.

For the sauce add in 4 to 5 spoonful of the taiwan sauce, 2 capful of Shaohing Wine, 2 inch rock sugar, 1 tsp chicken powder, 2 spoonful of oyster sauce, 50ml of dark soya sauce, and a tsp of oil.

Mix well and should be a little less than half a bowl of sauce. thats the size of the rock sugar for the time being.

Little Oil, Med Heat pan fry the garlic and ginger until slightly golden brown. 30secs

Add in the sauce until slightly boiling 30secs

Throw in the beef and tendons. Mix well in Med Heat. 1 min. Add the Radish and mix again until each pieces covered in sauce.

Add hot boiled water into the pot 3/4 covering the ingredients. High heat until water boiling then change to low heat and cook for 2 hours. Cover Lid.

Check at 30mins. taste the broth. should be little salty with sweetness. add in more water, chilli oil (optional), taiwan sauce or rock sugar if needed, until u get the taste. Cover Lid and let it cook in low heat. Check once in awhile and taste the broth also.

After 2 hours should look like this. Taste the beef n see if its soft, if not add in little rock sugar, low heat for another 20mins. If soft but a little bland switch off heat and soak longer. (Broth is the guideline in the taste DO NOT add in seasoning if u think the broth is already ok)

Done! Garnish with chives and serve with noodles or rice!
