Hopefully Helpful Tips:
* Isinasama namin yung beef bits (mumu) na nakakalat sa gilid-gilid ng pressure cooker. Pampalasa din ng sauce yun. Buhusan ng kaunting mainit na tubig para maipon yung mumu tapos isama sa sauce mix.

* Wag masyadong ubusin yung broccoli stalks hanggang dulo (ilalim na parte). Medyo natitigasan na kami sa parteng yun.
* After easing the pressure off the pressure cooker, just to be safer, tinutubog pa namin ito sa tubig. Bago tuluyang buksan. Better be sure and safe.

Enjoy!
