What each ingredient does
- Hung beef
- Is the main protein, cooked slowly in boiling water until tender.
The step that matters
Keep the water boiling rapidly. Water that drops below a rolling boil cooks the beef unevenly and slows the process, which can affect both texture and the color the recipe aims to preserve.
