Direcciones
- 1. For browning oxtails, heat oil over medium heat in a wok or Dutch oven. When you see a slight smoke, add 2 slices of ginger, 2 tbsp of green onions, 3 garlic cloves and ground bean sauce, stir and cook for 20 - 30 seconds. Add oxtails to wok.
- 2. Add mixed sauce* to wok and brown oxtails slightly on all sides, about 5 â 8 minutes.
- 3. Transfer oxtails to Dutch oven. Add remaining 7 ingredients (chicken stock, green onions, soy sauce, garlic, star anise, ginger, brown sugar) and enough water to cover the oxtails by ½ inch, bring to a boil.
- 4. Reduce heat to low, partially cover, and simmer until very tender, adding more water by ½ cupfuls as needed to keep oxtails covered, about 3 hours total cook time.
- 5. Add mushrooms, daikons and carrots about 2 hours into cooking, add water if needed to keep vegetables covered, cook until vegetables are softened. Garnish with green parts of green onion.
