Directions
VINEGAR SOY DIPPING SAUCE
This cook-at-the-table one-pot dish is served with a biting vinegar soy sauce dip. The meat and vegetables are eaten first; then the stock, well flavored by the ingredients and pepped up with chili, is served as a soup with a sprinkling of diced onions.
Very thinly slice the liver, sprinkle with salt and pepper and fry lightly in a little vegetable oil with a few drops of sesame oil until colored and sealed on the surface. Set aside.
Boil the tripe for 8 minutes in lightly salted water; drain and cut into narrow strips.
Cut the beef into thin slices. Pound with a meat mallet or the side of a cleaver and cut into small squares.
Mix the ground meat with the egg, adding salt, pepper and a few drops each of sesame oil and soy sauce. Form small meatballs with wet hands. Fry in a half-and-half mixture of sesame and vegetable oils until lightly browned.
Peel and slice the carrot. Drain the mushrooms and remove the stems. Bring the stock to the boil in a suitable vessel in the center of the table. Add the meat, vegetables and nuts and simmer gently for about 15 minutes. Spoon straight from the pot into small bowls with the vinegar soy dip.
When the meat and vegetables have been eaten, add the finely shredded chili and green onions to the remaining stock and serve in soup bowls.
Vinegar Soy Dipping Sauce: Mix all ingredients. The sauce keeps for several days in the refrigerator without the green onions, one day with the green onions added.
