Oxtail Udon

Watched Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. A restaurant in Hawaii served oxtail soup. I followed the ingredients for the soup, but used my own seasoning. It didn’t show what accompanied the soup, but I thought udon would go well with it. 😊

Ingredient

1 package

ox tail(2 lbs)

dried dates

medium pieces of ginger

star anise

2 Tbsp

raw peanuts

dried shiitake

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Soak ox tails for 2 hours to get rid of the blood. Boil some water with 1 Tbsp of salt. When the water is boiled, put ox tails in and boil for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, drain the ox tails, clean under running water.

* Step 2

Clean the pot well, put ox tails back. I used an onion sack to put the dates, ginger, star anise and orange peel. It would be easier to remove after the soup was done. Put the raw peanuts and shiitakes into the pot, because they will be served with the soup.

* Step 3

Add water 4 cups of water and 4 cups of chicken stock or beef stock. Bring to a boil, then turn to medium heat and simmer for 3 hours.

* Step 4

Season with some salt, black pepper, 1 Tbsp of sugar and 1 Tbsp of fish sauce.

* Step 5

Boil 1 1/2 cup of water with 1 Tbsp of salt. Blanch the bokchoy for 2 minutes. Remove. Cut into bite size, put in a mixing bowl, drizzle some sesame oil. Mix well. Set aside.

* Step 6

In the same boiling water, put one package of udon (there are 3 pack udon in 1 package), boil for about 2 to 3 minutes. Drain well. Put into serving bowl. Pour soup with ox tails, peanuts and shiitake over udon, put bokchoy and some chopped green onion on top. Enjoy!
