Common mistake & quick fix容易错在哪，怎么补救
Keep raw meat and its tools away from ready-to-eat food; wash hands and tools after handling it.生肉及器具与即食食物分开，接触后洗手并清洗器具。
Add the potato, carrot, and seasoned dashi. Bring it to a gentle simmer and skim off any foam with a spoon.
加土豆、胡萝卜和调味出汁，煮到轻轻冒泡，有浮沫就用勺撇掉。
The broth bubbles gently around the vegetables.汤在蔬菜周围轻轻冒泡。

Keep small, steady bubbles, not a fierce boil. If liquid runs low before the food is tender, add a little hot water.保持轻轻冒泡，别大滚；食材没软而汤快干时，补少量热水。
Partly cover the pot and simmer, spooning broth over the top now and then. The potatoes need to be fork-tender, and the beef must hit at least 145°F (63°C) and stay hot for 3 minutes.
锅盖半盖着炖，偶尔把汤淋在上层。土豆要叉得透，牛肉至少到145°F (63°C)，再继续保热3分钟。
The potatoes are tender but still hold their shape.土豆软而不散。

Add the snow peas and simmer until crisp-tender. Taste a cooled spoonful of broth — it's already seasoned with soy, so don't automatically add salt.
下荷兰豆，炖到熟而带脆。舀一勺汤吹凉尝尝，已经有酱油了，别顺手再加盐。
The snow peas are bright and cooked through but still have a little bite.荷兰豆色亮、熟透但有口感。

Make it a balanced meal营养搭配建议
Beef and potato already cover protein and starch. Add a leafy side such as sesame spinach; rice can be a small optional extra, not another main portion.牛肉与土豆已有蛋白质和主食，搭芝麻菠菜等绿叶菜；想加饭时少量即可。
Why it works: aim for half the plate vegetables, a quarter protein, a quarter whole grains or starch — then let one rich dish be the star.搭配思路：半盘蔬菜、四分之一蛋白、四分之一主食；一桌里只让一道浓郁的菜当主角。
