Directions

Prepare the Marination: Blend the ginger, toasted sesame seeds, salted bean paste, onion, and garlic into a smooth paste.
Marinate the Brisket: Cut the brisket into large cubes and marinate it with the paste, dark soy sauce, sugar, pepper, and Chinese cooking wine. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Sear the Beef: Heat a pan until hot, then sear the beef until it has a nice char. Immediately add the cinnamon stick.
Cook the Brisket: Pour in the beef broth and enough water to cover the beef. You can add the stems of the spring onions for added depth of flavor. Simmer and stir occasionally until the beef is tender, which may take 5-6 hours. Patience is key!
Prepare the Noodles: Boil a pot of water and cook the La Mian noodles.
Assemble the Dish: Gather the braised brisket, shabu beef, spring onions, and other garnishes (such as sliced red chilies, siu siu chili crunch, and coriander).
Cook the Shabu Beef: If your shabu beef is very fresh, you can simply place it raw in a bowl and pour the boiling hot broth over it to cook. Otherwise, blanch it in the hot broth before plating.
