Cooking StepsHow to cook Braised Beef Brisket with Bean Curd Sticks step by step
-
Step 1 DetailSoak dried bean curd sticks in water until softened, then cut into segments (or snap into pieces before soaking). Cut beef brisket into bite-sized cubes and soak in water for 20 minutes. Cut scallion into sections, keep garlic cloves whole, and slice the ginger. Bring a pot of water to a boil, blanch the beef brisket starting in cold water, then rinse with cold water.
-
Step 2 DetailStir-fry garlic, ginger, and spices (bay leaves, star anise, cinnamon stick) together with the beef brisket until fragrant.
-
Step 3 DetailTransfer the fragrant beef brisket to a clay pot. Add the bean curd sticks along with the soaking water. Add 2 tbsp light soy sauce, 1 tbsp dark soy sauce, and 1 tbsp oyster sauce. Add enough water to submerge the beef.
-
Step 4 DetailBring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low heat. For a chewy texture, simmer for 30-40 minutes. For melt-in-your-mouth tenderness, stew for 1-2 hours. Add scallion sections directly to the clay pot at the start, or during the last 5 minutes before serving, according to preference.
