My fav thing to do with star anise is a braised beef stew thing.

Cubed cow. Brown the fuck out of it. Onion, garlic, ginger, star anise, dried orange rind, honey, soy, stock. Chilli if desired. Simmer until sticky. Rice of course.

Omg this sounds super good! Could I bother you for a full recipe? I'd like to try it. It sounds delish

I kind of don’t do exactness in cooking. I’m a pinch, handful, shake sort of Cook.
