- For the Brisket: Pre-heat oven to 95°C, 60% steam, 40% heat. Take the brisket out of the fridge for at least 30 minutes prior to starting.
- Rub brisket with half of the barbeque sauce.
- Combine the dry spices and sugar and coat the brisket evenly.
- Place brisket in a gastronorm tray 12 cm deep. Add beef stock to ¾ full. Cover tightly with baking paper and foil. Cook for 10-12 hours until tender.
- Remove from oven, take beef out of gastronorm. Strain braising liquid into a saucepan, cool and allow fat to rise to top. Remove fat.
- To the strained liquid, add remaining barbeque sauce, bring to the boil and reduce to coating consistency.
- Pull the brisket and season with the reduced liquid.
- For the Rice Paper Rolls: Place noodles in a heat proof bowl. Cover with boiling water. Set aside for 15 minutes or until softened. Drain. Using scissors, cut into 5 cm lengths.
- Soak 1 rice paper sheet in warm water for 30 seconds or until soft. Drain on paper towel. Place on a clean work surface.
- Place a mint leaf in the centre of the sheet, followed by cooked brisket. Add a little cucumber and carrot. Fold in ends and roll up firmly to enclose filling. Repeat with remaining rice paper sheets and filling.
- Serve with dipping sauces.
