  5. Add the garlic. When slightly golden, add the beef brisket. Stir and sear until golden.

  6. Add the rice wine. Deglaze until almost evaporated. (you can skip this part and just put the garlic and the ginger into the spice bag too. Just add everything to pot including meat and rice wine.)

  7. Add 3 Litres of water and spice bag. Bring to a boil then simmer for 2 hours or until meat is tender. Skim the impurities occasionally.

  8. After 2 hours, test to make sure the brisket is soft by poking with chopsticks for any resistance. Remove and discard the ginger and spice bag. Skim any more impurities away.

  10. Season with sugar, mushroom seasoning and salt to taste.
