Why do we need to soak the beef brisket for 30 mins before start cooking?
How long do I need to cook in instant pot for 2 LB and 1 LB beef?

In reply to Kim. You can replace doubanjiang with other chili sauce and skip Sichuan peppercorn. As long as all the other ingredients are all gathered, the flavor can be 70% similar.

Look yummy.
May I know what type/brand of Sichuan doubanjiang you using?
I don’t have any Sichuan doubanjiang and peppercorn at home, is there any suggest substitution?

Thanks

In reply to Ashley Adams. Yes, this is super great with noodles. You need to make a soup base just like regular noodles for example this one, with seasonings. Then top this on noodles.

Hi Elaine if I wanted to serve this with noodles, what kind would you suggest?

In reply to Ray. Ray, I am using Chinese large onion actually. It is ok to use both types.

Thank you for your recipe, I was looking at your pictures and was getting confused about the ‘leek onion’ as it looks more like spring onions – aren’t they usually much thicker?

Hi Elaine

When do you put in the remaining 3 tablespoons of the chinese cooking wine? I can see 1 TBSP being used in the blanching but not sure when to add the rest.

Thank you
