Ingredients

800g (28 oz) beef, cut into chunks
2 onions, sliced
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 thumb-sized ginger (see note 1)
2 star anises
1 small piece cassia cinnamon
1 bay leaf
2 cloves
2 dry chilli (optional)
1 tablespoon Shaoxing rice wine
2 tablespoons light soy sauce
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
1 teaspoon salt
500ml hot water
2 large baking potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
2 carrots, cut into chunks
1 green onion, chopped

 

Direction:

Step 1:    Put beef chunks into a pot filled with cold water (enough to cover the meat completely). Bring the water to a full boil. Use a spoon to skim off the froth on the surface. Then drain the beef.  Fry onion in oil in a clean deep pot on medium heat until soft and lightly brown. Stir in ginger and all the spices. Fry until fragrant.   Put drained beef in. Add Shaoxing rice wine, light and dark soy sauce, salt and hot water. Cook on low heat with lid on for around 1 hour

        

 

Step 2:    Place the potato and carrot into the pot. Add some water if it seems too dry. Cook on medium heat for 5-10 minutes until carrot is soft and potato has a floury surface. The juice should be very little by then.  Add the chopped green onion.  Then serve it hot.
