Instructions

Start beef brisket and daikon in cold water. Bring to a boil, skim foam, rinse clean.
Blanching the daikon a little longer reduces bitterness.

Add brisket, spices, ginger, scallion, and peppercorns to a pot with enough water to cover. Add Shaoxing wine and simmer gently until the brisket is tender.
3. Add daikon
You can simmer daikon together or separately. For a softer texture, cook it longer.
4. Season
Season with fish sauce or salt to taste.
Tips
- Blanch thoroughly for a clear broth.
- Go light on spices to keep the soup clean.
- Adjust daikon timing for your preferred texture.
