Cooking Steps

1
1

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Place slow-cooked beef brisket in a baking dish. • Pour liquid from packaging and the soy sauce over beef. Cover with foil and roast for 15 minutes. • Remove from oven. Uncover, then turn over beef and spread over ginger lemongrass paste (see ingredients). • Roast, uncovered, until browned and heated through, 8-10 minutes.

• While the beef is roasting, cut corn in half. Place on a lined oven tray. • Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. • Roast until tender and slightly charred, 15-20 minutes. • Remove from the oven, set aside and cover to keep warm.

• Slice cucumber into thin sticks. • In a medium bowl, combine the vinegar and a good pinch of sugar and salt. • Add cucumber to pickling liquid. Add enough water to just cover cucumber. Set aside.

TIP: Slicing the cucumber very thinly helps it pickle faster!

• When the brisket has 10 minutes remaining, in a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and Japanese style dressing. Set aside. • Thinly slice long chilli (if using). • Roughly chop coriander. • In a large bowl, combine mixed salad leaves, coriander, chilli, and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. • Sprinkle salad with crushed peanuts.

• Place gua bao buns on a plate with a small splash of water (just a small splash so they stay fluffy!). • Cover with cling wrap or a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Set aside for 1 minute.

• Shred beef brisket using two forks then stir through sweet chilli sauce. Drain cucumber. • Uncover, then gently open the buns, and fill with pickled cucumber, lemongrass brisket and some salad. • Bring everything to the table to serve. Serve baos with corn cob, and any remaining salad. • Drizzle Japanese mayo over the corn to serve. Enjoy!
