Ingredients

Steps

  1. Soak the beef in water for an hour to remove blood, wash and cut into small pieces

  4. Make a cross cut on the top of the tomatoes and boil them in the boiling water where the beef has been cooked for a few times to facilitate peeling

  5. Peel the tomatoes and cut them into pieces (because I will use a rice cooker to cook them for two hours later, in order to keep the appearance, the tomatoes are cut into large pieces)

  6. At the same time wash the potatoes and cut them into pieces

  7. Pour oil into a hot pan, the amount of oil is more than normal for stir-frying. Rapeseed oil needs to be cooked. When the pot starts to smoke, turn down the heat and let the oil temperature drop

  8. Then put the blanched beef into the pot, stir-fry slowly over low heat, stir-fry until the surface is slightly yellow, add rock sugar, and start to stir-fry the sugar color

  9. Stir-fry the sugar until the surface of the beef is slightly browned, then add the spices to the pan and stir-fry together. During this period, keep the fire low and the oil temperature will not be too high to ensure that the beef and spices will not be burnt

  10. The aroma is rich after the spices are added to the pot

  11. Stir-fry over low heat for 3-5 minutes, put all the ingredients in the pot aside, add chili sauce and stir-fry

  12. In fact, the correct method should be to shovel out all the ingredients in the pot, leaving oil in the pot and stir-fry the chili sauce separately. I will be lazy here. The chili sauce must be stir-fried over low heat to bring out the fragrance and bright red color

  13. Then put the chopped tomatoes into the pot and stir-fry together. At this time, turn to high heat

  14. Stir-fry over high heat until the tomatoes are soft. Add appropriate amount of dark soy sauce to enhance color

  15. Next, I transferred all the ingredients to the rice cooker and placed the cut potato cubes on top. Select the baby porridge function of the rice cooker and cook it for two hours. If it is cooked directly in the wok, add an appropriate amount of boiling water after frying the tomatoes, then add the potato cubes, and cook over low heat until the beef is soft and tender. The purpose of adding boiling water is to prevent the juice from condensing too quickly and burning the pot.

  16. This is what the rice cooker looks like after two hours of cooking. The rice cooker does not consume water when cooking, and the pot is full of original soup

  17. Take it out of the pan and put it on a plate, add a few green onion leaves to add color!
