Beef Hotpot

Beef Hotpot

Overview

When I was in college, there was a Guokui shop in front of the school, selling salt and pepper, pork, and beef. Many people lined up there every day to buy. Guokui costs five yuan each, which is quite expensive for me as a student, but I still can't help but eat it every once in a while. I haven't eaten it for a long time now and I really miss it, so I wanted to try it myself.

  16. Add an appropriate amount of oil to the pan. When the oil is hot, add the flour cake and fry slowly over low heat (this cake requires more oil, half the thickness of the cake)

  18. After this pancake is fried, the inside of the pancake is a bit raw. It needs to be baked on the stove or oven to reheat it and remove the oil on the surface to make the pancake crispier.
