Spicy ox tail stew (매운 소 꼬리 찜)

It's been ages I haven't taken care of this blog :(

I apologize to those people who supported me a lot.

I've been busy post things on my Korean blog.
Visit my Korean blog(blog.naver.com/alohayang)

It has a lot of informations about cooking and restaurants in Hawaii.

Hope you enjoy it.

If you can't read Korean, feel free to ask me to translate any post that you are interested.

Today, I'd like to share spicy ox tail recipe.

Do you enjoy having ox tail soup?

Korean does too. Just our recipe is very different.

Since ox tail is really heavy, Korean spices are the best match for that.

Once you try this, you will forget your old ox tail recipe with tomato.

Spicy Ox Tail Stew

Cooking ox tail originally takes long time to make the meat soft.

However, the recipe itself is quite simple.

Please try it while you read a thick book ;)

Let's start!

< ingredients >
Ox tail -one pack. Will make sauce a lot so doesn't matter how much you use.

Garlic clove-4

Onion-half

Ginger-1inch

Fresh black pepper corn-some

<extras>

carrot, potato, onion-one bite size

Green onion if you have

< sauce >

Same sauce with Spicy Chicken Recipe.

Please make this sauce a lot and use it for any meat.
gochujang(Korean pepper paste) 6 table spoon,
shoyu 4 table spoon,
rice wine 4 table s,
Mirin 4 table s,
pepper powder and minced garlic and sugar and honey each 5 tea spoon,
ginger powder 1/2 tea spoon,
pepper

1. Wash ox tail with cold water and make some slits.
Soak it into the cold water and wait 2-4 hours.(to get rid of all blood)
Wash it again and put it into the boiling water with onion, ginger, garlic and pepper corn.

First boil

When the meat is almost cooked(medium welldone), wash them with cold water.

 

Second boil with the sauce

 Put clean ox tail into boiling water with the sauce 

Cover and keep boil it until the meat is soft enough to poke with chopsticks.

Consistently add spoon full of water.

Add Vegitables

When the ox tail is soft enough, add vegitables and add more sauce if it is necessary.

Spicy Ox Tail!!! Yummy!!!

When all ingredients absorb most of the sauce, it's time to eat.

<Tip>

Try to get rid of all blood from the bone.

Take your time. Wait until the meat is soft enough.

Make a lot of sauce and store it in the refrigerator.

Add sauce gradually to suit your taste.
