    Tender beef simmered gently in a clear, savoury broth. Simple and hearty, and easy to scale up for meal prep. Add Daikon radish to make it a complete meal.

    **Ingredients**

    Served 8, or 2 with plenty of leftovers for stir fries and curries later in the week.

    * 3lb beef brisket (or rib fingers, for something more budget friendly)
    * Several pieces of ginger
    * 1 cup chicken broth, plus enough water to cover
    * Several cloves of garlic
    * 2 star anise pods
    * 4 bay leaves
    * 1 tsp white peppercorns
    * 1 fingernail-sized piece of rock sugar, or about 1 tsp
    * Salt, to taste
    * 600g Daikon radish, peeled and cut into 2 inch chunks

    **Instructions**

    1. Pre-blanche the beef by putting it in cold water with the ginger. Slowly bring to a boil, strain it, and rinse with running water.
    2. Return rinsed beef to a cleaned pot. Add all the other ingredients except the Daikon radish. 
    3. Simmer on low heat for 2 hours, or until the beef is tender.
    4. Add the Daikon radish, and simmer for another 1 hour.
    5. Serve hot.

    Cheers!
