Korean oxtail soup

Korean oxtail soup
Korean-style oxtail soup () has a light and kind taste. It moistens the lungs and kidneys, and nourishes the muscles and delights the face. It has a magical effect on strengthening the body. It is a soup with very nutritional value. Because oxtail is rich in collagen, it can replenish physical fitness and replenish amino acids and proteins in the body. It has a good effect on the physical development of teenagers and is also a nutrient for patients during their recovery period. The wolfberry fruit in the soup has the effects of replenishing the kidney, replenishing the essence, and improving the body's immunity, while the jujube has the effects of replenishing qi, nourishing blood, tranquilizing the nerves, replenishing the spleen and stomach, and enhancing endurance. It is a rare nourishing soup in cold autumn.
Originally, oxtail soup needed to be cooked in a soup pot for a day. I improved it here and used an electric pressure cooker. It took two and a half hours to cook it. In the end, the meat on the oxtail became soft and rotten ~~ Probably because of the jujube and wolfberry, the soup color is clear, not that the soup color is white. No seasonings were added when making the soup, but when drinking it, add appropriate amount of salt, black pepper, and paprika powder according to your own taste.

  • Korean oxtail soup Make Tips

    1. It is best to have steps to remove blood and blanch the oxtail, so that the meat will not have a heavy fishy smell and less greasy impurities. 2. If you don't like clear soup, in step 8, you can fish out the oxtail, wrap it with some salt and black pepper, and then put it in the pan to cook. 3. The dates I make have a stronger flavor, so you can leave out what you don't like. 4. Clear water can be reduced in moderation. Mine is to the scale of 10. Finally, people finished 3 bowls, and there is still half of the soup left...==
