3. Next, blanch the beef brisket.

Put the beef in warm water and pour a little cooking wine to remove the fishy smell. The ethanol in the cooking wine can dissolve the amines in the meat that produce the fishy smell. , the fishy smell will be taken away as the alcohol evaporates during the heating process. After the water boils, remove the scum in the pot, blanch it for 30 seconds and pour out the water.
