I remember a long time ago I went to a small restaurant to eat after working overtime at the company. At that time, the company was not wealthy and could only order cheap dishes. Those fish and meat were very common, but Yiweizhai dishes impressed the author very deeply. It is called Mei Cai Braised Soy Beans, which is very dry and fragrant. Recently I bought a few packages of dried Mei Cai. I thought about this dish. In order to make the dishes less fast, I added some ground beef.

To explain, the small spoons, tablespoons and cups written in the author's recipe are all international standard measuring spoons. I have seen many posts and videos. They like to use their usual spoons and soup spoons, which can only be seen from the images and photos. Roughly speaking, in fact, like the teaspoon that everyone uses, the size is slightly different, so there will be no misunderstanding when using a standard measuring spoon. "

2. Put the plums in the pot and stir the water, then out of the pot;

3. Pour in minced beef and sauté until the color changes;

4. Add soybeans and plum vegetables, stir fry a few times, add about 1 cup of water;

5. Add 1 tbsp minced garlic, 1 tbsp minced ginger, 1/2 tbsp minced chili, 2 tbsp light soy sauce, 1/3 tsp salt, 1 tbsp brown sugar powder, 1/2 tsp pepper, and stir-fry evenly Change to medium heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes to let the ingredients taste;

6. Collect the juice on high heat until it is dry, out of the pot, and cook.

Tips:
1. It is as delicious as minced pork. Originally, I wanted to use minced pork, but forgot to freeze it, so I could only use the leader to cook the leftover minced beef for other dishes;
2. Meicai and soybeans have little taste, so you need to add some sugar to taste. It is recommended to use brown sugar powder. If you don't prepare white sugar, you can also add a little if you don't mind using chicken essence or the like.
