Chinese beef broth
Description
Perfect for lunch. You can prepare this delicious broth in advance and store it in the refrigerator, or even freeze it. The key is to remove all the ginger and green onions from the surface of the liquid, as they tend to become bitter during prolonged storage. You can also make a larger batch of broth, pour it into containers, and freeze it in portions.

Step 2
Rinse the meat and remove the films and tendons. Place it in a cauldron, pot, or saucepan with a non-stick bottom. Pour in cold water and put the container on the stove. To make a flavorful broth, you must use cold water so that the meat doesn't "seal" on the outside.
