Beef Shank

Leave a reply

Ingredients:

  • 1 Beef Shank (I bought mine from MT)
  • 4 star anise
  • 3 small piece of clove (use very little of this, the flavor is strong, it gives a tangy taste)
  • 3/4 cup of soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup Chinese cooking wine (clear rice wine or the brown color wine, use half can of beer if you can’t find any)
  • 1 green onion or half of onion chopped

Optional:

  • Pinch of dry whole red chili
  • Pinch of Szchuan pepper (The kind that numbs your mouth)
  • Honey or sugar if you like sweeter taste

Cooking instruction:
Boil a pot of water, dip the beef shank in, make sure water can cover the entire shank.
Wait until it boil again, turn off stove and rinse off blood chunk from shank with cold water.

Electronic pressure cook instruction: (I don’t have the stove top one, I consider that’s too dangerous :p)
Put shank and all ingredients in the pot, add a cup of water of so, let the liquid barely cover the meat (not entirely covered is ok, easy on water since pressure cook keeps all moisture in)
Cook for 35 min, wait until cool and pressure has released. Open the cooker, flip meet over and cook for another 35 min.
Then let it soak over night. Cut into thin slices when it’s cool.

Stove top instruction:
Put shank and all ingredients in the pot, add a cup of water of so, let the liquid barely cover meat, bring to boil, then cover the lid and
reduce heat to simmer. Let it cook for at least 2 hours until the meat is tender, flip the meet in between. Then let it soak over night. Cut into thin slices when it’s cool.

Additional dipping sauce:
Combine some soy sauce, red vinegar, chili, sesame oil, minced green onion and cilantro.

ps. I use the ingredients very loosely, I pretty much add anything that I like or I can find in my spice cabinet. (Sometime I’ll add a bay leaf or a piece of orange peel, once you have the soy sauce it can’t go too wrong…)

Chicken Casserole

Leave a reply

Ingredients:

  • Chicken
  • Vegetables
    • Carrot
    • Broccoli Florets
    • Small Onion
    • Leak
  • Butter / Olive Oil
  • Chicken / Vegetable Stock
  • Rice

Preheat oven to 375°F.

In a small roasting pan, heat 2 Tbsp olive oil over medium heat on the stovetop until shimmering. Add 2 boneless, skinless chicken-breast halves (about 4 oz each) and cook, turning once, until browned, 7 to 10 minutes. Add 1 cup broccoli florets, 2 carrots, 1 small onion, cut into rings, 1/2 cup sugar snap peas, and 1/2 cup frozen peas and cook until the vegetables are bright in color, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer the chicken and vegetables to a plate and set aside. Melt 1 Tbsp butter in the same pan. Stir in 1 1/2 cups rice. Add 3 cups chicken stock and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Arrange the chicken and vegetables on top and transfer to the oven. Bake, uncovered, until the rice has absorbed the liquid, 30 to 40 minutes. For the really little guys, roughly chop their portions, then pulse in a food processor until coarsely or finely chopped.
