I LOVE beef tendon! This looks great. Chu Hou Sauce certainly has reminded me of my favourite Cantonese beef brisket claypot.
This is going to require a visit to the butcher. From what I can gather, the tendon adjoins the tenderloin of beef – right? This recipe – from the list of ingredients – may be one of my new favorites< Raymund.
Not exactly sure but what I know is that tendons are located between the animal’s bones and muscles, so it can be found in many places.
I love beef tendon, but have never tried it in a dry-style noodle before! I always have it in Taiwanese-style beef soup or pho, but now I’ll have to try it this way đŸ™‚
