Implementation Steps
01
Prepare the beef shank
Wash the beef shank, then blanch it in boiling water with ginger for about 5 minutes to get rid of any odour and impurities.
Lift out the beef and cut it into bite-sized pieces about 1 cm thick.
Finally, put the beef in a bowl and marinate with 1 tablespoon seasoning powder for 15–20 minutes.
Tip:
Cut the shank across the grain so it isn't chewy. Cut this way, the meat fibres are short and easier to eat, and the beef absorbs the marinade faster and cooks more quickly.

Prepare the remaining ingredients
Shell the ginkgo nuts and remove the bitter germ. Rinse the codonopsis root and drain.
Soak the dried red dates and goji berries in clean water for 7–10 minutes so they plump up and soften.
Wash, peel and cut the taro into bite-sized pieces. Before cutting, prepare a basin of clean water with about 1 tablespoon salt stirred in. Drop each piece of taro into the salted water as soon as it's cut to remove some of the sap and keep it from discolouring!
