Braised Oxtail in Soy Sauce

Braised Oxtail in Soy Sauce

1. Generally sellers of oxtail will help to chop them.
Put it in a pot of cold water.
Add a little white vinegar to the water.
After the water boils, continue to cook for about 3-4 minutes to remove.!

The effect of adding white vinegar is not only to remove fishy.
It can also make the meat loose, easy to rot, and easy to be cooked.

It is best not to omit this step.!

2. Wash the oxtail in warm water.
Soak for a few minutes.
Be sure to warm water. Don't use cold water.!

Because of the process of blanching.
The muscle fibers have been opened.
When it meets cold water, it shrinks again.
In this way, the meat cooked in the later stage will become firewood.
It doesn't taste tender. It doesn't seem to be cooked.
I don’t feel like doing it anymore.! (｡ ́︿ ̀｡)

3. (This is double the amount of oxtail in the recipe)

Add cumin, bay leaves, cinnamon, star anise, pepper, nutmeg.
Dried chili, dried tangerine peel, hawthorn aniseed.
Put it in the pot and cook for half a minute.

This step can inspire the flavor of the spice.
It can also boil the dirt attached to it.

The requirements for aniseed are not very strict.
Just put whatever you have in the house.
If you don't have one, you can buy a bag of ready-made brine in the supermarket.
It usually has everything in it.
It depends on your mood to put a little more..! (´▽｀)...

4. Remove the spices and put them in the net pot.
Sauté slowly over low heat.
Let the fragrance come out completely.!

Because there is water vapor, spices are not easy to paste.
In volatile moisture.
The fragrance will be better.!

So this step.
It's best not to omit it.!

After frying, pack it in a gauze bag and tie it tightly for later use.
If there is a larger piece, it is not easy to install.
No need to install...!
Without the gauze bag.
Then I can only stop installing...!

5. Pixian bean paste. Soy bean paste. Black pepper paste. Fermented bean curd.
These are all ready.

When I usually make it, I just throw it into the pot.
The recipe is only served in a bowl.

Ooh. I need to wash one more bowl.! ´д`.

6. Put water in the pot. Heat until the sugar melts.
I used rock candy.
The amount of water is a little bit more. 1:1.5.
If you use sugar.
1:1.2 is fine.!

If you use rock candy.
The color of the finished product will be brighter and more beautiful.
The taste is also refreshing.
I just lost it. There can be no more. (/ω＼)

7. Keep stirring after the sugar melts.

8. The moisture will become less and less.
From large bubbles to small bubbles.
The color of the sugar will be darker.

9. Stir it all the way into this deep golden color.
When it looked like it was about to turn brown.

Can't wait for it to turn black. Then it's muddy.!

10. Pour half a bowl of hot water quickly.
Heat it up again.
Let the syrup and water mix thoroughly.
This is the fried sugar color.!

11. Put the mixed sauce in.
Stir-fry evenly.!

12. Put the drained oxtail in.
Stir fry evenly until it is colored.

13. Put the spice packet and not the larger bay leaves.
Ginger, light soy sauce. Add in and stir-fry evenly.

14. Pour in beer.!

Cover the pot and simmer for 2 minutes.!

15. Add boiling water.
The amount of water should cover the oxtail.
Bring to a boil, cover the pot and turn to a low heat to simmer.

It is best to add enough water at once.
Try not to open the lid frequently during the stewing process.
What to do if the fragrance comes out. (/ω＼)

16. After half an hour add onions, millet peppers.
Cover the pot and continue to simmer.

17. Simmer for another 20 minutes or so. Add salt.
According to the softness and the amount of soup you need to save.
Let's see if we should use a high fire to harvest the juice.!

The color of the juice is beautiful with the fire.

18. After the stew, sprinkle with coriander or chopped green onion.

If you want to blanch vegetables.
You can use a heated pot just fine.

Tips:

It is best to use yellow sauce.
But not sold in many places.
So used soy sauce instead.
You can also put your favorite sauce.
Adjust to your own taste.

No oil is used in this one.
The sugar color is also fried with water.
The sugar color fried with water is less prone to failure.
It just takes longer than oil frying.
Usually, you can fry more at a time and put it in a jar.
When making braised pork and other dishes, just pour out some for coloring.
Personally, it is not recommended to use dark soy sauce instead of sugar.
Use soy finished products to darken your black hair.
Of course, it doesn't matter if you eat it yourself.
The pursuit of beauty is more than a loss.
If the PS technology is very good.
Just pretend that you haven't seen my nonsense. (￣∇￣)
