Clear broth beef brisket soup
Clear broth beef brisket soup~
Beef brisket in clear broth is popular of it’s freshness flavor and heart warming juicy brisket. My version here is non cloudy and greasy but time consuming😝. I was once scared by the floating blocks of oil on top of my overnight beef soup , so ever since I like to put all greasy meat soup overnight to get rid of my ‘ nightmare’😜. With the spices , brisket and Chinese radish all flavor together, I like to add a small piece of rock sugar to boost to the base. And this dish is usually served with flat noodles , rice noodles or rice, but it is also goes well as a comfort soup itself on your dinner table. I highly recommend to use beef brisket instead of lean beef ; because the finishing touches is totally different , so time-wise hopefully is not an excuse here😝
Ingredients~6-8 servings
1: beef brisket. 1+ 1/2 Kg ( bigger pieces bring the flavor more)
2: Chinese radish 2 big size or 3 medium size ( like to peel off more to add more freshness)
