INSTRUCTIONS
==========
BEEF TENDON
——————–
– For uncooked beef tendons – pressure cook tendons with a cup of cold water in Instant Pot at High – Pressure for 1 hour & 15 minutes + Natural Release.
– Discard the cooking liquid. Rinse the cooked tendons under cold running tap water.
– Cut tendons into smaller 3-4″ pieces, then remove some of the fat if desired.
DRIED MANDARIN PEEL
——————–
– Rehydrate the dried mandarin peel (chengpi) by soaking it with cold water for 15 minutes.
**Both the beef tendon and dried mandarin peel are optional
BEEF PREP
——————–
– Heat up Instant Pot using Sauté More function. Wait until it says HOT (~8 mins).
– Pat the beef belly dry with a paper towel.
– Add 1 TBSP oil to the Instant Pot.
– Brown the beef, roughly 3 minutes per side, and set aside. You may have to do this in batches.
SAUTE AROMATICS
——————–
– Add crushed garlic cloves, sliced ginger, chopped shallot, and white part of green onions in Instant Pot.
– Saute until fragrant (~2 mins).
– While the ginger and garlic are being sauteed, quickly cut the beef into stew-size pieces.
– Add pre-cooked tendon pieces and browned beef pieces (with all the meat juices) in Instant Pot.
– Pour in 1 TBSP Shaoxing wine (or water) and completely deglaze the bottom of the pot.
MAKE CHEE HOU SAUCE
——————–
– Combine all sauce ingredients and add to the Instant Pot.
– Give it a quick mix so all the ingredients are infused with the paste.
ADD REMAINING INGREDIENTS
——————–
– Add the daikon chunks, chicken stock (or water), and salt.
– Ensure everything is submerged ~90%.
PRESSURE COOK
——————–
– Pressure Cook at High Pressure for 32 minutes plus 15 minutes natural release.
THICKEN & SEASON TO TASTE
——————–
– Bring the beef stew sauce to a simmer with the “Saute” button.
– In a small mixing bowl, mix cornstarch with water, then mix it in one third at a time until desired – thickness.
– Taste and adjust seasoning by adding more salt.
– I added 2 large pinches of salt at the end.
– Serve with egg noodles, rice, or rice noodles!
