      I’ve made a couple of Maangchi recipes that involve boiling brisket in water. My brisket always comes out tough. Today I made Yukgaejang. The recipes says to boil for 1 hour. After about 100 minutes, the meat still wasn’t tender, and I gave up.

      Should I buy a different cut of meat than brisket? Or try a different grocery store? (I get mine from Hankook in Sunnyvale.)

      Or maybe I should use pressure cooker instead of stove.

      The simple solution is to add more water and cook the meat over medium or medium low, until it turns very tender.
