  • 300g coleslaw

  • ½ cup mayonnaise

  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice

  • 1 tsp brown sugar

  • 1 tsp fish sauce

  • 1 tsp sesame oil

Method

1

Preheat the oven to 120°C.

2

Cut the brisket into 2 or 3 pieces along the grain. Season brisket on all sides with salt and set aside.

3

Place the gochujang paste, BBQ sauce, light soy sauce, and garlic into bowl and whisk until smooth. Add bone broth and mix. Reserve.

4

Place a dutch oven or casserole dish on the stove on medium heat. Add oil. Once hot, add the brisket and cook for 5 minutes per side until browned.

5

Add the sauce mix, ensuring the meat is covered with liquid. Add more bone broth or water if needed to ensure the meat is covered with liquid. Bring to a simmer and cover with lid.

6

Transfer into oven and braise for 3 hours at 120°C, turning the brisket pieces over once.

7

Once cooked, transfer the cooked brisket to a chopping board.

8

Line a small bowl with 3 folded paper towels. Using a ladle or spoon, skim the excess oil from the sauce into the bowl. Discard the oily paper towels into the rubbish.

9

Place the dutch oven onto the stovetop and bring to a simmer. Dissolve 1 teaspoon cornflour into 2 tablespoons water and stir cornflour slurry into the sauce until sauce has thickened. Set aside.

10

To assemble, slice the brisket into 1 to 2cm thick slices. Place all the kimchi slaw ingredients into a glass or metal bowl and mix to combine.

11

Steam bao for 7 minutes (or according to package instructions). Open each bao bun and add a heaped tablespoon of slaw and a few slices of cucumber.

12

Top with a slice of brisket, a drizzle of sauce and garnish with sliced spring onion. Serve immediately.
