Instructions

1

Blanch then slow-braise

Blanch brisket 10 min to clarify the broth. Rinse pot clean. Return brisket, add 2L fresh water, ginger, star anise. Simmer 1.5 hours.

2

Add radish and finish(30 min)

Add daikon, continue simmering 30 min until both brisket and radish are fork-tender. The broth should be clear, deeply beefy, and fragrant with star anise. Season with soy at the end. Serve with steamed rice and soy-dipped sliced chilies.

Pro Tips for Western Kitchens

Blanch the brisket twice if the broth isn't clear enough. The cleanest broth starts with the cleanest blanch.
