"Sure," Sun Bingnan was the first to respond, "I've always heard Lanlan say how delicious your beef sauce is, I've never had a chance to try it yet."
Lin Chuxia smiled, directed people to light the fire and set the pan, and got to work.
Rendering the oil for the beef sauce is crucial.
A good half pot of oil was poured into the big pot, the oil was heated, and then in proportion, coriander, green onions, and onions were added, followed by the spices: star anise, bay leaves, cinnamon, and finally her secret spice mix.
In no time, a fragrant aroma filled the air.
Once everything was fried to a golden color, the spices were scooped out, and the oil was ready.
While the oil was being rendered, Lin Chuxia had already instructed Ma Yongli and Su Wensong to process the beef into small granules.
Now they poured the beef into the oil to fry off the moisture.
This process was quite slow and the oil splattered from time to time, so it was easy to get burned if one wasn't careful.
