Sulung Tang (Simmered Oxtail Soup)

A traditional Korean comfort food.

So you buy a set of ox tail cuts (2 lbs~) and simmer the HELL out of it. I work from home on Fridays, so I started the 'brothing' process at 2pm. I have a HUGE pot and it's been reduced much of the original 2-gallon water already. It's 7:17pm now and broth is still not milky white.

The ideal time is 10-12 hours of simmering, you can get away with 8. We aim to eat around 9-10pm. Hopefully we get the desired consistency of the broth.

Once the broth is ready, I can put in thinly sliced brisket cuts + freshly chopped scallions and serve it with kimchi, all pretty like the pictures below.

2 more hours to go!

That is one of the dishes where you just eat in a restaurant or get it to go. Too much hassle to go through all that trouble when you can get it made even better to go from a restaurant for 8.99 or something.

No one will disagree with that. Restaurants specialize in it and they have amazing broths from simmering it for 24 hours.

But this dish is originally everyone's comfort food made at home because you grew up eating it when mommy made it for you. It's similar to American moms making chicken soup.

Back to your ramen, Philistine!

To make it pretty like the picture, you first need to boil the Oxtail and bones for 5 or 10 minutes then, you drain and rinse the bones/Oxtail. Next, you refill with cold water and simmer for 10 or 12 hours.

Except, we're two generations away from anyone knowing how to cook in America. :(

QFT...I don't do it, but my wife loves cooking and will slave in the kitchen all day.

I just say fuck it and go and buy something myself.
