The Brisket

  1. Preheat your oven to 350F.
  2. Place the brisket in an oven safe casserole dish. Pour the braising liquid over the brisket. Cover with aluminum foil.
  3. Pop your pan in the oven. Set a timer for 12-14 minutes. 
  4. When it dings, double check the brisket, it should be heated through! Remove from the oven carefully, leaving the braising liquid behind. 

The Chive + Onion Pancakes

  1. Pop them on your foil lined pan and toss them in the oven with the brisket for the last 3-4 minutes.

The Green Beans 

  1. Toss in a saute pan with a light drizzle of olive oil
  2. Saute until heated through, around 3-5 minutes.

The Crispy Ginger Rice

Two options here:

  1. Over high heat, set a saute pan with 1 tbsp of oil.  Add the rice and toss it as it crackles and pops.  Add a splash of water. Toss once more till nice and hot.
  2. Place in a microwave safe bowl, add a teaspoon of water, and heat for 2 minutes.

Cucumber + Mint Salad

  1. Nothing! Cold is definitely the way to go.

Place each item on your plate, and don’t worry if they touch! We know that can be scary sometimes, but all the flavors work together to create something beautiful 🙂
