Beef shank is braised in a well-seasoned broth then sliced into thin pieces to serve. The rich stock is then kept as a master stock to be reused over and over for braising other ingredients.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Braised-beef-shank-master-stock-19-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Chinese braised beef shank slices with chilli oil\" class=\"wp-image-11337\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"a-popular-dish-for-special-occasions\"><span style=\"color: #4d8682;\">A popular dish for special occasions<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Known as Jiang Niu Rou\/&#37233;&#29275;&#32905; in Chinese, sliced beef shank is one of the most popular cold dishes served in Chinese restaurants. It&rsquo;s particularly common to have it as an appetiser at banquets or fancy meals for special occasions, such as Chinese New Year &amp; other festivals. Many people who enjoy <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Baijiu\">Bai Jiu\/&#30333;&#37202;<\/a> (a type of Chinese liquor) with food consider it a must-have to start a good meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tender and packed with rich flavour, braised beef shank tastes great on its own or with a dressing\/dipping sauce, such as a combination of <a href=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/chinese-chilli-oil\/\">Chinese Chili Oil<\/a> and soy sauce and\/or vinegar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the cooking process is quite time-consuming, it&rsquo;s a great dish to prepare ahead of time thus saving you lots of effort on the day when you&rsquo;re busy cooking up a storm for an important occasion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Braised-beef-shank-master-stock-11-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"A plate of beef slices and a jar of beef stock\" class=\"wp-image-11329\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"keep-the-reusable-master-stock\"><span style=\"color: #4d8682;\">Keep the Reusable Master Stock<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The wonderful by-product of this braised beef shank dish is the rich stock which has absorbed all the flavours from the meat, seasonings and spices. In Chinese, we call this delicious master stock Lao Tang\/&#32769;&#27748; meaning &ldquo;old stock&rdquo; (it&rsquo;s also known as Lu Zhi\/&#21348;&#27713;). Restaurant chefs and home cooks would reuse it again and again to make braised dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each time, it picks up more flavours from the newly added main ingredients (meat, boiled eggs, tofu, kelp, etc.), seasonings and spices. As it gets &ldquo;older and older&rdquo;, its flavour becomes richer and more sophisticated. Absolutely a treasure to have in the kitchen!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-cooking-procedure\"><span style=\"color: #4d8682;\">The Cooking Procedure<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before I talk in detail about each step involved in making this dish, let me first give you a general idea of the cooking procedure:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Soak the beef chunks in water to remove excess blood.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make a paste with soybean paste, fermented bean curd, soy sauce, etc, then coat the drained beef to marinate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Put marinated beef into a pot. Top with water then add herbs and spices. Leave to simmer for around one and a half hours.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When completely cool, take out the beef and refrigerate to firm it up before slicing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drain the stock to remove the spices. Store it for reuse later as a master stock.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"marinate-the-beef-with-intense-flavours\"><span style=\"color: #4d8682;\">Marinate the Beef with Intense Flavours<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Braised-beef-shank-master-stock-10-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"marinated beef pieces\" class=\"wp-image-11326\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I always marinate the beef chunks before braising. This process helps the flavour to penetrate the meat. I use three Chinese condiments (soybean paste, fermented bean curd and <a href=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/soy-sauce\/\">soy sauce<\/a>) to make a paste which coats and stays on the beef very well. I recommend you leave it to marinate overnight (or at least 4 hours). If you aren&rsquo;t familiar with these ingredients, here is some explanation and substitute ideas:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Soybean Paste<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Braised-beef-shank-master-stock-21-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Soybean paste\" class=\"wp-image-11362\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Chinese soybean paste (Huang Dou Jiang\/&#40644;&#35910;&#37233;) is a brownish-black paste made of fermented soybeans (It&rsquo;s different from Sichuan chilli bean paste which is made of broad beans). Widely used in northern Chinese cuisine, it&rsquo;s great for seasoning meat-based dishes, such as the pork sauce for <a href=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/zha-jiang-mian\/\">Beijing Zha Jiang Noodles<\/a>. If unavailable, you may replace it with sweet flour sauce (Tian Mian Jiang\/&#29980;&#38754;&#37233;), another type of popular paste made of fermented wheat flour. Hoisin sauce can be a substitute too.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fermented Bean Curd<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Braised-beef-shank-master-stock-22-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Two types of fermented bean curd\" class=\"wp-image-11363\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Known as Fu Ru\/&#33104;&#20083; in Chinese, fermented bean curd (or fermented tofu) is, in my opinion, one of the most underestimated Chinese condiments. Made from soybean, rice wine, salt and spices, it lends wonderful flavour to dishes with its complex taste: salty, umami, winey, aromatic with a hint of sweetness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually, it comes in cubes soaked in a jar of brine. For braised beef shank, you can either use the red version (right in the image above) or the white one (left in the image above) with increased quantity. Unfortunately, there aren&rsquo;t any other ingredients which taste similar to fermented bean curd. So if you have trouble sourcing it, you will have to skip it (In this case, I suggest you add more salt to the stock in next step).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"braise-the-beef-for-the-correct-time\"><span style=\"color: #4d8682;\">Braise the Beef for the Correct Time<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Braised-beef-shank-master-stock-0-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"A pot of broth with spices\" class=\"wp-image-11344\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the beef is well-marinated, you&rsquo;re ready to cook it: Put the beef, along with all the marinade, into a pot (traditional Chinese clay pot or cast iron pot work the best). Top up with enough water to cover the meat. Add <a href=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/shaoxing-rice-wine\/\">Shaoxing rice wine<\/a>, ginger, scallions, sugar and a collection of spices (detail explained in the next section). Bring the water to a full boil. Then turn down the heat to low and leave to simmer with a lid on until the beef is cooked.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1642\" height=\"924\" src=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Braised-beef-shank-master-stock-20.jpg\" alt=\"A piece of braised beef shank\" class=\"wp-image-11345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Braised-beef-shank-master-stock-20.jpg 1642w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Braised-beef-shank-master-stock-20-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Braised-beef-shank-master-stock-20-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Braised-beef-shank-master-stock-20-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Braised-beef-shank-master-stock-20-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Braised-beef-shank-master-stock-20-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1642px) 100vw, 1642px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To check the doneness, use a chopstick to poke the centre of the biggest piece of beef. If you can insert it through but with a little resistant, it&rsquo;s time to turn off the heat. You don&rsquo;t want to overcook the beef as it won&rsquo;t easily stay in shape when slicing later on. For your reference, it took me 1h10m to cook it in a cast-iron pot with a tight lid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A note:&nbsp;<\/strong>halfway through the braising process, you can check the saltiness by tasting the stock. If it&rsquo;s on the salty side, the beef should be just right. Otherwise, please feel free to add a little more salt.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-spices-do-you-need\"><span style=\"color: #4d8682;\">What spices do you need<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Spices are indispensable when it comes to making Chinese braised meat and master stock. They effectively lend sophisticated, multi-layer flavours to dishes. Traditionally, home cooks would also add some Chinese medicine for their tonic properties. I use 10 spices to make my braised beef shank. It&rsquo;s nice to add all of them, but please feel free to skip 2-3 spices if unavailable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Braised-beef-shank-master-stock-8-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"A collection of Chinese spices, scallions and ginger\" class=\"wp-image-11325\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Star anise<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cassia cinnamon<\/strong>. It&rsquo;s also called Chinese cinnamon which refers to the aromatic, hard bark from a type of evergreen tree originating in southern China. You can replace it with Ceylon cinnamon (the common type widely used in Western cuisine) even though they create different flavours.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bay leaves<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fennel seeds<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sichuan pepper<\/strong>. Having a unique mouth-numbing effect, Sichuan pepper also has a citrus aroma and an overtone of pine. Please refer to my <a href=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/sichuan-pepper-guide\/\">Sichuan Pepper Guide<\/a> to learn how to select good quality ones when purchasing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Whole white pepper<\/strong> or black pepper<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cloves<\/strong>. Follow the recommended quantity in my recipe. Excessive usage of cloves can result in unbalanced flavour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tsao-ko<\/strong> (&#33609;&#26524;). It&rsquo;s known as Chinese black cardamon which has a smoky, camphor-like flavour. You can replace it with Indian black cardamon which is smaller and more wrinkled. Green cardamon can&rsquo;t be used as a substitute though.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dried sand ginger<\/strong> (&#27801;&#23004;). Also known as Shan Nai (&#23665;&#22856;) in Chinese, it has a more aromatic flavour than regular ginger.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dried chillies<\/strong>. They give the stock a hint of spiciness. Adjust the quantity based on your own preference.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-serve-the-beef\"><span style=\"color: #4d8682;\">How to serve the beef<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-11330 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Braised-beef-shank-master-stock-17-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"a slice of braised beef shank picked up by a pair of chopsticks\" width=\"924\" height=\"1385\"><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">It makes a great appetiser<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the beef chunks are cooked, leave them in the pot to cool down naturally. Then take them out and store in the fridge to firm up. Chilled beef is very easy to slice into thin pieces. Lay them on a plate to serve. As all the flavours have been absorbed into the meat, the beef slices taste wonderful on their own as an appetiser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively, you can serve the dish with an easy sauce: Heat up about 3 tbsp of the stock. Pour it over the beef along with some <a href=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/chinese-chilli-oil\/\">homemade chilli oil<\/a>. Garnish with finely chopped scallions for visual appeal. Sometimes, I like heating up the sliced beef in the steamer for a few minutes. This way, it tastes tenderer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other delicious ways to serve<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from serving the beef slices on their own, I often use them in other dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>As a topping in noodle dishes.<\/strong> For example, replace chicken with it in <a href=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/cold-noodles-with-sichuan-dressing\/\">Sichuan Style Noodle Salad<\/a>. Or use it along with the stock (dilute with water if necessary) to make yummy noodle soup, just like how I serve <a href=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/spicy-beef-noodle-soup\/\">Spicy Beef Noodle Soup<\/a> &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/lanzhou-beef-noodle-soup\/\">Lanzhou Beef Noodle Soup<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>As a filling for Chinese bread\/buns<\/strong>. For example, you can use it to replace braised pork in <a href=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/chinese-pork-burger\/\">Rou Jia Mo<\/a> (Chinese pork burger) or <a href=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/bao\/\">Folded Bao Buns<\/a> (e.g. <a href=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/gua-bao-pork-belly-buns\/\">Gua Bao<\/a>\/Taiwanese pork buns). You can also wrap it in <a href=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/easy-chinese-tortilla\/\">Duck Pancakes<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A note:&nbsp;<\/strong>store the leftover beef (unsliced) in the fridge for up to 4 days or in the freezer for 3 months. Defrost in the fridge before using.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-reuse-the-master-stock\"><span style=\"color: #4d8682;\">How to reuse the master stock<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Braised-beef-shank-master-stock-3-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"A jar of spiced beef stock\" class=\"wp-image-11324\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&rsquo;t discard the well-seasoned stock in which the beef was braised! You can reuse it to braise meat or other ingredients again and again. As I mentioned at the beginning of the post, this delicious master stock can work wonders in your kitchen for a long time. Here is how I store and reused it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Once the beef is taken out, drain the stock through a sieve. Discard the spices.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Transfer the stock to a clean, air-tight jar\/container. Store it in the fridge for up to 4 days or in the freezer for 3 months.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Defrost in the fridge. Reuse it to braise beef or other ingredients. Pork (ribs\/knuckles\/trotters), chicken (drums\/wing), tofu, kelp, boiled eggs are common choices. Add more water, seasoning and spices if necessary.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>This procedure can be repeated indefinitely as long as you&rsquo;re hygiene-cautious at each step. As the flavour of the stock gets richer and richer over time, your braised dishes become more and more scrumptious.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained
