Halal beef sausage was bought in the wet market, it is already cooked meat, so when we put it in the clay pot, we only had the let the pot simmer, we didn't need to cook the beef, we are just making it warm, and letting the flavor go inside. On top of the package there are two chinese characters "Qing Zhen" indicating it is a halal beef sausage.

Beef sausage is a versatile ingredient so you can make a lot of other varieties of this dish. For instance, we can replace the vegetables or add more vegetables into this dish: broccoli, carrot, potato, edamame, peas, spinach, corn, baby corn, flat beans, bean sprouts and so many more.
