White turnip beef stew

White turnip beef stew recipe is a classic traditional ancient Chinese food recipe. Stew is one of my favorite cooking method, because this method can make food very tasty. I remember when I brought white turnip in a supermarket in Miami, the cashier asked me what was that and how to cook it. I told her this is turnip (白萝卜), but I only know the Chinese name at that time. So, now I have a chance to introduce this amazing recipe for you. Chinese think white turnip can help with the digestive system. I also posted some stew recipes, such as beer duck, chicken mushroom soup, egg tofu shrimp.

beef brisket: 500 g
white turnip: x 1/2
ginger: 3 pieces

9. cover the pan and turn the heat to medium, add white turnip cubes until the water becoming thick

Tips:

1. follow the lines when you cut beef brisket, this will make beef easier be cooked.
