Do you like oxtails? If you do, there are lots of recipes online. Oxtails are tough meat, so you need to prepare them in a stew or braise them to make them tender and flavorful.

This Chinese oxtail dish is different from traditional stew recipes. I boil off the liquid at the end so the oxtails have a sticky texture and are coated in a flavorful sauce. To make them yummy, I cook them in soy sauce and spices. Oxtails were once cheap meat, but now they’re more expensive because lots of people enjoy them.

We don’t make oxtails very often, but when we do, it’s usually around the holidays.

What Ingredients Do You Need to Make Oxtail Stew

• PEANUT OIL– Peanut oil can have some good effects on our health, like providing us with a nutrient called vitamin E. But there are also drawbacks. For example, it has lots of a type of fatty acids that could encourage inflammation. It can also easily become damaged.
• OXTAIL PIECES– Oxtail is a great source of Collagen, a protein that helps us grow and heal. Oxtail is loaded with fat, perfect for those on a Low-Carb or No-Carb diet. It has more than 70% fat, making it ideal for high-fat dieters. To enjoy Oxtail, you must slowly cook it to turn the tough tissues into tender, delicious bites.
• WHITE PEPPER– White pepper is made from berries that have ripened completely. The berries are put in water and left to ferment. Then, the outer part is taken away, leaving only a white, inner seed. So, white pepper is smoother than black pepper.
• GREEN ONIONS– This type of onion is called salad onion, spring onion, or green bunch onion. It is picked before the bulb has grown big.
• GARLIC– Eating garlic can give your immune system a boost to help protect you from colds and the flu. Kids usually get sick 6 to 8 times a year, while adults get sick 2 to 4 times. Eating raw garlic may help keep away coughs, fever, and other illnesses. To get the most out of it, try eating 2 pieces of chopped garlic each day!
• CHINESE RICE WINE– Rice wine is an alcoholic drink. It is popular in East Asia, especially in Japan (sake), Korea (Gyeongju), and China (Shaosingjiu). It is made from rice, like beer and wine. It has an alcohol content similar to wine.
• LOW-SODIUM SOY SAUCE– Low-sodium soy sauce has less salt than regular soy sauce. Usually, about 40% of the salt is taken out after it’s made.
• So if a tablespoon of regular soy sauce has 1000mg of sodium, then low-sodium soy sauce only has 600mg. You can find low-sodium soy sauce from both Chinese and Japanese brands.
• BROWN SUGAR– Table sugar and brown sugar have the same number of calories per teaspoon. Brown sugar is different because it has molasses in it, which makes it brown, gives it flavor, and makes it moist.
• GINGER– Ginger tastes great and is good for your health! You can find it in lots of different ways in the kitchen. It’s an easy way to add flavor to your meals and improve your well-being. Check it out – it’s worth a try!
• STAR ANISE POD– Star Anise Pods are shaped like stars and are used a lot in cooking. They have eight points. People in China, India, Malaysia, and Indonesia use them in their cooking.
• Europeans often use them instead of anise, but they have a stronger, hotter, and more bitter taste. Both anise and Star Anise contain anethole, which is what gives anise its flavor.
• TANGERINE PEEL– Eating tangerine peels can be good for your health. The peel has a special antioxidant called tangeretin, which can help reduce cholesterol levels. Vitamin C is important for healthy skin, and tangerine peels have lots of it!
• JALAPENO PEPPER– Jalapeños are not only tasty and zesty, but they can also be part of a healthy diet. They are a great source of vitamins C, A, potassium, and B6. Plus, capsaicin, which is found in jalapeños, may help with weight loss. This is because it makes your body’s metabolism work faster.
• TURNIPS– Eating high-fiber foods like turnips can help make bowel movements easier and prevent diverticulitis flares. But it’s important to check with a doctor first before changing your diet.
• CARROTS– Carrots are a healthy snack! They’re crunchy, tasty, and packed with nutrition. They are full of beta carotene, fiber, vitamin K1, potassium, and antioxidants. Plus, eating carrots can help with weight loss and keep your cholesterol and eyesight in check.
• CILANTRO– Cilantro is a plant used in many types of cooking around the world. The leaves and stems go in dishes like salsas, curries, and stir-fries. The seeds of the cilantro plant are also used as a spice. Cilantro and coriander come from the same plant, but coriander usually means the seeds and cilantro means the leaves and stems.
