"You won't get this at any takeout. You might wish you had a Chinese grandma to make this for you on a chilly day, or you can become the Chinese grandma yourself and make it for those you love. It is essentially a homestyle Chinese stew, and it's definitely a food of LOVE."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Season meat with salt and pepper, then sear meat on all sides in a large skillet before placing into a dutch oven.
Step 2
Meanwhile, flavor broth by smashing lemongrass and simmering in the broth, which you should season with five spice powder, chee hao sauce, rice wine, soy sauce, oyster sauce and sugar.
Step 3
Pour broth over meat in the dutch oven, and cover with aromatic vegetables (ginger slices, split garlic cloves).
Step 4
Cover oven with a tight fitting lid, then braise in an oven at 325F. for 45 minutes.
Step 5
Add onion and carrots to pan. Cover dutch oven and braise at 325F for an additional 45 minutes.
Step 6
Remove from oven and layer bok choy on top of all of it, replace the cover and bake for another 20-30 minutes, or until bok choy is tender.
Step 7
Serve meat and vegetables over steamed rice with a little of the pan liquid (skim off unwanted fat), garnished with sliced scallions and drizzled with toasted sesame oil, if desired.
Tips
- If my Dutch oven were bigger, I would have added more veggies. If you can fit them in there, especially carrots, add them. You won't regret it.
- You will want to buy chee hao sauce (alt. sp.: chee hau, chou hou, etc.) which is a thick sauce available at Asian grocers which is very similar to hoisin, but more pungent. If you substitute hoisin, be sure to up the amounts of ginger and garlic liberally.
- You can also cook this in your slow cooker, just braise it in there all day. You know the drill.
