There are classics we love making in advance, like braised beef. In this case, we were inspired by Korean flavours to give the meat a stronger flavour. Ginger and Korean chili pepper are mixed together in the blender to create an aromatic paste, which eliminates the need to chop the ingredients by hand. Add this mixture to the pot before cooking and it will enhance any other ingredient divinely. The meat cooks in a generous, all-purpose sauce (great as a base for soup!). All that’s left to do is to shred the meat and it’ll be ready to garnish ramen or sandwiches.
