Steps

1. Blanch the Beef Brisket: In a pot of boiling water, add Beef Brisket. Boil for 5-10 minutes to remove impurities. Drain and rinse thoroughly with cold water. Set aside.
2. Sauté Aromatics: Heat Cooking Oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add Ginger, Garlic, and Onion. Sauté until fragrant and Onion softens, about 3-5 minutes.
3. Add Curry Paste: Add Curry Paste to the pot and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Brown Beef Brisket: Add the blanched Beef Brisket to the pot. Stir well to coat the Beef Brisket with the curry mixture. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
5. Simmer Beef Brisket: Pour in Water or Beef Broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 60 minutes, or until the Beef Brisket is tender.
6. Add Vegetables: Add Potatoes and Carrots to the pot. Continue to simmer, covered, for another 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
7. Finish with Coconut Milk and Seasoning: Stir in Coconut Milk. Season with Salt and Sugar to taste. Heat through for another 5 minutes.
8. Serve: Ladle the hot Curry Beef Brisket over Cooked White Rice. Serve immediately.
