Delicious ! Comforting and fragrant
I tweaked the recipe slightly based on the ingredients I have.
The result is excellent.
With minced beef, I let it cook for 2h15 in the rice cooker, on the slow cooking mode.
What scent in the house while cooking…
I used a beef broth flavored with coriander stems and Shanghai noodles. I also had some enoki on hand that were added at the very end of cooking.
A real treat.
Thank you for sharing.
