This is the dish that I do not need to refer to any recipe. Just pour in the ingredients and the taste is always perfect without the need of adding additional sauces although every time I cook different amount. That's because practice makes perfect! I have been cooking this (without tendons) for years and I used to add hard boil eggs for my son when he was younger. Now that he is eating well and do not need to 'cheat' him to eat eggs, I started to put in the ingredients that is more beneficial to me!
TENDONS, my all times favourite! A diet high in collagen is good to provide extra support for our tendons and ligaments, and also increase skin elasticity. 以形补形，that's what the old folks says...
The recipe that I'm sharing here is pressure cooker method. If cooking this dish in conventional pot, just braise 2 hours or until the meat is tender. ;)

Method:
1. Mix all ingredients (A) and (B) in a bowl. Cover with cling wrap, keep in the fridge and let it marinate overnight.
2. Heat some oil in the pressure cooker pan, I am using WMF Perfect Pro 3L pot. Add in garlic and ginger, cook until fragrant. Add in (A+B), reserve the marinates. Cook until no more sizzling sound. Add in marinates and water just enough to cover the meat, or mix with the marinates to make 250ml.
3. Close with the cover and set the knob to 2.
4. Use medium heat until the cooking indicator rises to the 2nd orange ring.
5. Reduce heat to low and let it cook for 30 minutes.
6. When the cooking is over, turn off the heat. Wait till the indicator (orange ring) go down or turn the knob to lock/ unlock to release pressure. When there's no more pressure, unlock and open the cover.
