"This was my favorite canteen food when I was a kid. The original recipe calls for fresh tomatoes, however canned tomatoes turned out great as a substitution with aneven creamier sauce and a flavor boost. I used goulash beef but would recommend any beef cuts with some fat. Rock sugar can be substituted with normal sugar. And if you don’t have dark soy sauce, just use any soy sauce instead. #stayhomekeepcooking"
