The instructions below are for pressure cooking:
-
6
First, lets wash the beef.
-
7
Chop it up into bite sized pieces and then put all of the chopped beef shank into the main cooking pot of the pressure cooker.
-
8
Fill it up with water, enough to cover all the meat.
-
9
Press the START button on the pressure cooker.
-
10
This will start the heating element in the machine.
-
11
Its not necessary to shut and lock the lid at this time.
-
12
In about 10-minutes or so, youll start to see particles that you want to get rid of.
-
13
Its sort of foamy and grimy.

14
It looks pretty gross.
-
15
Use a spoon and start spooning the gunk out and discard.
-
16
Turn the pressure cooker off by pressing CANCEL.
-
17
Use an oven mitt and pour all the grimy water out.
-
18
Rinse the beef 1-2 times with fresh water and discard the water again.

Now comes the real cooking part.
-
20
The beef should be inside the main cooking pot still.
-
21
Add the soy sauce, the rice wine, water, and spicy bean paste.

Chop up all the other ingredients, but leave the star anise and rock candy whole, then add everything into the pot.

Give it a good stir if you like but its not necessary.

Add the bok choy to the hot water and only cook them for 5 minutes.
