Ingredients
1 pound beef brisket
8 cups water
4 cloves garlic, smashed
2 large green onions, cut into thirds
1 (1-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
Directions
Place the beef brisket in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then drain and rinse the beef under cold running water to remove impurities. Return the cleaned beef to the pot.
Add the 8 cups of fresh water to the pot with the beef brisket.
Add the smashed garlic cloves, ginger piece, and green onions to the pot.
Bring the soup to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium-low and simmer gently for about 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the beef is very tender and easily shreds with a fork.
Remove the ginger piece, garlic cloves, and green onion pieces from the broth using a slotted spoon.
Stir in the soy sauce to season the broth. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Remove the beef brisket from the broth and shred or slice it into bite-sized pieces. Return the beef pieces to the soup.
Chill the soup in the refrigerator for at least 1 to 2 hours, or until completely cooled. Serve cold in bowls.
Comments
This is a straightforward broth-based dish where all six ingredients are available at any Charlotte chain—no special trips needed. Beef brisket runs $6–8 per pound depending on the cut and store, and you'll need roughly 1.5 pounds for four servings, anchoring the cost around $4–5 per bowl before noodles; the rest of the pantry staples add a dollar or two per serving. The stated 195 minutes is honest for a slow-simmered brisket broth, though the actual hands-on work is minimal and frontloaded—most of that time is unattended simmer. The dish reheats well and suits a family dinner, though "cool and refreshing" signals a chilled or cold preparation that may not appeal during a Charlotte winter and requires overnight fridge time, a real constraint for weeknight planning.
