Beef Brisket Radish Stew

There are so many versions of beef stew - Western, Chinese and Japanese. My husband specially requests for one similar to his dad's - Chinese style Beef Brisket Radish Stew. So, here it is! Next time, I will add beef tendons too.


Ingredients:
- 1kg of beef brisket, cut into chunks
- 1 large white radish
- 3 tablespoons of light soya sauce
- 1/2 bulb of garlic, crushed
- pepper
- 1-2 bay leaves
- 1 tablespoon of plum paste
- 1 tablespoon of fermented soya bean paste
- 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce
- 1 cup of water

Procedures:
1) Marinate beef with soya sauce, crushed garlic and white pepper overnight.
2) Brown beef chunks in a pan with some oil. Place them in a slow cooker. Add radish chunks.
3) Add the remaining seasoning, plum paste, oyster sauce, bean paste, water and bay leaves. Mix well. Cook at high setting for 4 hours.
4) Adjust the taste to preference using salt and sugar. Serve with white rice.

Shallots Steamed Chicken Wings

I am embarking on an effort to collect my mummy's recipes. It is not an easy task as she does not have her recipes written down and she bases the quantities on her intuition. But I am sure that this endeavour is worthwhile as what I am collecting are not mere recipes but also wonderful memories. This dish, shallots steamed chicken wings, is one of my favourites when I was kid. Ingredients: - 1 kg of chicken mid wings - 4 tablespoons of light soya sauce - 2 tablespoon of sesame oil - 3 tablespoons of hua tiao wine - pepper - 6 shallots, chopped - spring onions and parsley, chopped for garnish Procedures: 1) Marinate chicken wings and shallots with light soya sauce, sesame oil, hua tiao wine and pepper for 30 minutes. 2) Arrange on a steaming plate and steam for 30 minutes. 3) Garnish with spring onions and parsley. Serve.

This Hakka's dish can be very complicated as cooking the traditional way would involve branching, deep-frying, stir-frying and steaming! So, I have decided to simplify it. The whole process only requires slow cooking. It still tastes good, especially with a steamy bowl of rice. Ingredients: - a stab of 1kg pork belly, cut into slices - 1 packet of salty mei cai  - 1 packet of sweet mei cai - 1 bulb of garlic, chopped  - dark soya sauce  - light soya sauce  - oyster sauce  - shaoxing wine  - sugar  Procedures:  1) Wash mei cai and soak overnight. Cut into small pieces.  2) To the slow cooker pot, add garlic, chopped mei cai, pork belly slices.  3) Add 1 tablespoon of dark soya sauce, 1 tablespoon of light soya sauce, 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon of shaoxing wine and 1 tablespoon of sugar.  4) Add water until it just covers the ingredients. Cook at high setting for about 4 hours.  5)...
