Using boiling water as soon as you get out of the pot will lock the smell of meat in the meat, so heat it slowly.
In the process of heating, remove the blood floating on the water surface, turn the fire to the minimum 1, cover the pot and cook slowly. You don't have to put anything. Really.
If you want to eat rotten beef and cook it for 2 hours, it will be 1 hour if it hardly comes apart. This is the color of the cooked soup, isn't it good?
Now look at the size of the vegetables cut just enough for the entrance. Don't be too small, and there's no need to cut a lot of cooked brisket into pieces. It's badly cooked ~ ~ ~ ~ So cut it quickly, or it will break.
The vegetables should still be stir-fried in oil, then add beef, add water and beef soup, half and half, just let the total amount drown the vegetables. Boil it for a while.
The highlight, curry seasoning.
