Instructions
- [Authentic Recipe]
- Prepare beef shank and beef Achilles tendon (beef tendon). Since tendon is very hard, prep it separately (parboil with scallions and ginger in a pressure cooker for about
- hour to soften).
- Sauté doubanjiang, soy sauce, rock sugar, and spices (star anise, etc.) in a pot to make a Hongshao base broth.
- Put the parboiled shank and tendon in the same pot and simmer slowly on low.
- Done when the tendon becomes translucent amber and jiggly like jelly (but maintaining perfect firmness without melting).
- Beautifully arrange the fall-apart meat and jiggly tendon half-and-half over noodles, and pour the broth.
