Ingredients

• Beef brisket - 200 grams, thinly sliced
• Jasmine rice - 100 grams (1/2 cup), rinsed
• Water - 1 liter
• Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, minced
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons (ensure it's Halal)
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon

• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Carrot - 1 small, julienned
• Mushrooms (shiitake or button) - 100 grams, sliced

Steps

1. In a pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat and add the minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
2. Add the sliced beef brisket to the pot and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Pour in the water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
4. Stir in the soy sauce, salt, and black pepper to taste. Add the julienned carrot and sliced mushrooms, then simmer for another 10 minutes.

7. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
