Instructions

Draining the Oxtail Blood

Immerse oxtail in cold water for about 2 hours. Let it sit in the fridge and the blood will build up over those hours. Drain the water, refill with cold water and repeat the same steps. Do this about 2 times or until the liquid has cleared.

Removing impurities from the oxtail

For Stovetop (3-4 hours simmering time):
1.) Once the oxtail has been drained of all its blood, transfer the oxtail to a large pot. Add in the daikon, peppercorn, garlic, and scallion whites, Fill it up with about 8-10 cups of water or close to the top. Make sure to leave an inch or two as the water will overflow once it boils. Heat on High, wait for it to come to a rolling boil, then lower heat to medium. You'll notice some
For Instant Pot (1 hour simmering time):
1.) Move oxtails to the instant pot. Pour in about 4-5 cups of water. Set on MANUAL HIGH for 10 minutes. Strain the oxtail and discard all the water.
2.) Move oxtails back to the Instant Pot. This time fill up with 8-10 cups of water. Add the daikon , garlic, peppercorn, and scallion whites. Set on MANUAL HIGH for 40 minutes. Let the pressure naturally release itself which will be an additional 10 minutes.
For Slow Cooker (7-8 hours simmering time):
1.) Move oxtails to large pot. Pour in about 4-5 cups of water. Boil for 10 minutes on the stove top. Strain the oxtail and discard all the water.
2.) Move oxtails to slow cooker pot. This time fill up with 8-10 cups of water. Add the daikon, garlic, peppercorn, and scallion whites. Set on LOW and cook for 7-8 hours.

Skimming off the fat (optional)

If you want less fat, I suggest preparing this a day before consumption. Once the soup is ready, move the soup over to the fridge. Let it cool overnight and you will find the fat has solidified. You'll find that it's easier to remove the fat this way.

Toppings and Seasoning

Top with green scallions, salt, and white pepper to taste. You can add kim chi and shirataki noodles for sides.
