1 (14-ounce) mild or spicy kimchi

2 tablespoons dark Asian sesame oil

1. Mix onions, garlic, ginger, granulated sugar and chili flakes in the bottom of a large 9-quart Dutch oven. Add corned beef (cut in half if necessary to fit it into the pot). Add cold water to completely immerse the beef, usually about 12 cups. Pull some of the onions up over the beef to help keep it immersed in the water.

2. Heat over medium heat to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to low and cover the pot tightly. Cook, adjusting heat as necessary to maintain a gentle simmer (bubbles barely breaking on the surface) and turning the meat several times, until nearly tender when pierced with a knife, about 3 1/2 hours.

3. Add the carrots and daikon to the pot with the meat. Continue to simmer, covered, until the meat is tender when pierced with a fork, about 1 more hour.

4. Meanwhile, for the glaze, mix brown sugar and chile paste in a small dish.

5. Use tongs to transfer the beef to a roasting pan fat side up. Add cabbage to the pot with the vegetables and simmer until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Turn off heat under the pot.

6. Heat broiler. Spread glaze over corned beef. Broil, 6 to 8 inches from heat source, until glaze is bubbly, 3 to 4 minutes. Watch closely so it doesn’t burn.

7. Remove vegetables from pot with a slotted spoon to a large serving dish, stir in kimchi and sesame oil. Add a ladle of the hot cooking liquid and mix well.

8. Transfer the meat to a cutting board and slice thinly. Serve with vegetables.
