Cook Time: 1 hour, 35 minutes
Ingredients:
- 4 turnips (about 1 1/2 pounds)
- 3 large carrots
- 3 slices ginger
- 2 green onions
- 2 tablespoons oil, or as needed
- 2 pounds boneless stewing beef, cut into chunks
- 3 cups beef broth
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons Chinese rice wine or dry sherry

Preparation:
Chop the turnips into bite-size chunks. Peel the carrots and cut on the diagonal into 1-inch pieces. Chop the ginger. Cut the green onions into thirds.
In a wok or large saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the ginger. Cook until softened then brown the beef. Add the beef broth, water, rice wine or sherry, and 1 tablespoon of the dark soy sauce. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 1 hour.

hi wat r u doing in china?
Looks like you’ve got a nice blog here. I wish I had more recipes on mine. Unfortunately I end up going out all the time to eat and never cook. Of course since I’m living in China I get the most authentic Chinese food. Though it looks like you have a good selection of authentic foods.
Is your blog still alive? It seems you haven’t posted much lately. Email me and maybe we can do some cross promotions if you are interested.
