Q: Can I replace the beef neck meat with another type of beef?
A: Yes, while beef neck meat (shoulder blade near the head) is preferred for its tenderness and marbling, you can use other tender cuts of beef as a substitute.
Q: What if I can’t find specifically “Public Security” three delicacies beef?
A: The “Public Security” style is a regional specialty, but you can use any high-quality braised beef mixture as an alternative. Look for a mix that includes beef and other savory ingredients.
Q: Is there a vegetarian alternative for this dish?
A: Absolutely! You can replace the beef with tofu or a mix of mushrooms for a vegetarian version. Keep the rest of the ingredients the same to maintain the dish’s overall flavor profile.
