So Saturday I went to Chinese New Year Festival and only came home at 1 a.m.
I thought there was no way I’m going to prance around early making Sunday lunch, so before I went to bed I just put a Pickled Brisket in a slow cooker on low for 7 hours and went to sleep!
I carried on with the veggies later with surprising results and plenty praises for what I called my healthy boiled food!

After 7 hours, add the potatoes, carrots and cabbage.
Sprinkling the seasoning after each vegetable.
Cook on high for 2 hours, pressing the vegetables under the brisket after 1 hour.
