Ingredients

• 500 grams Beef brisket
• 6 cups Water
• 2 pieces Star anise
• 30 grams Ginger
• 4 pieces Garlic cloves
• 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine
• 1 tablespoon Rock sugar (or granulated sugar)
• 1 medium-sized Daikon radish
• 2 medium-sized Carrot
• 2 stalks Green onion
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon White pepper
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the ingredients: Slice the ginger into thick pieces, peel and halve the garlic cloves, peel and cube the daikon radish and carrots into bite-sized pieces, and chop the green onions into 2-inch sections.

Step 2

Rinse the beef brisket under cold water and pat dry. Slice it into large chunks approximately 1.5 inches wide.

Step 3

Blanch the beef: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the beef brisket and blanch for 2-3 minutes to remove impurities. Drain and rinse the beef with cold water. Set aside.

Step 4

In a large soup pot, add the blanched beef, water, star anise, ginger slices, garlic cloves, soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, and rock sugar. Stir gently to mix the flavors.

Step 5

Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 1 hour. Skim any foam or impurities that rise to the surface during this time.

Step 6

Add the daikon radish, carrots, and green onion sections to the pot. Stir to combine, then continue simmering for another 45-60 minutes, or until the beef is tender and the vegetables are soft.

Step 7

Season the soup with salt and white pepper, adjusting to taste.

Step 8

Remove the soup from heat. Discard the ginger, star anise, and green onion sections before serving.

Step 9

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
