My daughter loves it, but her stepdad says it is the only thing I make he is not into! Aaaah cultural differences! Oh and my mom would add star anise.
Sounds good! I might just be going to the butcher today :) -

Re: oxtail soup
Mon, July 14, 2008 - 6:28 PMAm wondering if you're still looking.
I make oxtail soup with lotus roots. Can't tell you the exact proportions I use, but it's something like this:
1 oxtail, cut into 2" pieces and washed
3 lotus roots, peeled and sliced into 2 mm slices
Fish sauce, to tase
Salt, to taste
Steamed rice
Boil the oxtail in a big pot of water. Then reduce and simmer the pot for about 3 or 31/2 hours until tender, skimming the surface of scum every 15 minutes or so,. Add the sliced lotus roots, fish sauce and salt. Simmer for another 1/2 hour to 45 minutes or until when the meat falls off gently pulled off the bone. Serve in a bowl with some steamed rice. Add extra fish sauce to the individual bowls, if desired.
It's rather plain, but it's a hit at home here.
Cheers,
