pulled brisket? i wanted to make a recipe i saw in whisk. it was for kosher baked bao buns with pulled brisket inside. can i use the pulled corned beef (i think it should be written like that instead of corn beef but let me know if im wrong) recipe for pulled brisket with a pc of brisket instead of corned beef?
Being an English teacher and a food writer I am happy to say that you are correct. It is corned beef. People look at me strange when I correct them. Pulled corned beef would make a super substitute. It might not hold as well because it’s stringy but if you slice it in a way that it doesn’t fall apart you should be fine.
I want to make this ahead for yom tov. Does the entire recipe freeze well? Or should I just freeze the corned beef (before after shredding?) and make the sweet roasted onion mixture fresh?
You can freeze the corn beef before or after shredding but probably easier if you shred it and then freeze it. You can also freeze the onion mixture but I think it would be better made fresh!
