Curry Beef Brisket

Both of my sons love to eat beef brisket. In the past, I would have a headache whenever I thought of stewing beef brisket, because firstly, it would take a long time to stew, and secondly, it might not be stewed until it was tender. Later I discovered that the pressure cooker is the key to stewing beef brisket. It can stew the beef brisket until it is soft, and beef brisket has become our home-cooked dish. The secret to making curry beef brisket tender and with a curry flavor is to stew it twice.

Pork and Vegetable Dumplings

We have to set aside a lot of time to make dumplings at my house because everyone in the family loves eating dumplings, so we have to make a lot. This time we made two kinds of pork and vegetable dumplings: small tangcai and Chinese cabbage, and also topped them with mushrooms, dried shrimps, fungus and carrots, which are full of flavors and nutrients. Today's portion is relatively large. If you don't need such a large amount, you can reduce the ingredients proportionally.
