LEG OF BEEF: May be stewed. Used mostly for stock as it is gelatinous.

*Beef heel muscle appears to be a Chinese cut of meat. When cooked it balls up to resemble some sort of internal organ. Other beef cuts with a bit of fat and plenty of connective tissue (the sight of tendon is a good sign when it comes to this dish), like rib meat, shank or chuck are fine too. Cut into small chunks and cook for 2 hours. Most Chinese plain noodles are suitable, but thin, round noodles are most common for this dish in Taiwan. The vegetables from the stock can be eaten separately.

You can also make a somewhat stretchy-gooey sweet food out of it, called "gelatina" in Colombia.

You boil the feet down, strain the broth, add sugar or "panela," a brick of a kind of brown sugar, then pull like taffy.

This lady uses paddles to pull it--I've never seen that done.

I've pulled it this way:

You have to hold it very lightly because it's HOT!
