Ingredients

• 3 pounds oxtail

• 2 inches ginger, sliced
• 4 green onions, chopped
• 2 carrots, sliced
• 1 daikon radish, peeled and sliced
• 8 cups water
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. In a large pot, add the oxtail and cover with water. Bring to a boil and let it cook for 10 minutes. Drain and rinse the oxtail to remove any impurities.
2. In the same pot, add the oxtail, onion, garlic, ginger, green onions, carrots, daikon radish, and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 2-3 hours, until the oxtail is tender and the flavors have melded together.
3. Skim off any scum that rises to the surface during cooking.
4. Once the oxtail is tender, remove it from the pot and let it cool slightly. Shred the meat from the bones and discard any excess fat or bones.
5. Return the shredded oxtail to the pot. Stir in soy sauce, fish sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Adjust the seasoning according to your taste.
6. Simmer the soup for another 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to fully develop.
