Instructions

  1. Prepare stew

    • In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, warm the vegetable oil over a medium-high heat. Saute the ginger slices and head of garlic for 30 seconds. 
    • Add the beef brisket and tendon and sear until the brisket is golden-brown on the outside.
    • Pour in the water, then add the Nam Yu (fermented beancurd), Taucheo (fermented soybean paste), light soy sauce, dark soy sauce and rock sugar. 
    • Bring the stew to a boil, then cover and simmer for 2 hours 30 minutes, adding more water if necessary.

  2. Finish stew

    • After 2 hours 30 minutes, add the carrot chunks and stir in. If the brisket is very soft, remove it from the stew and set aside while the rest of the ingredients finish cooking. Cook the stew for another 30 minutes.

Plate and Serve!

If you have removed the brisket from the pot, return it to the stew and adjust seasoning to taste. Make sure the tendons are soft, then serve!
