Ingredients

  • 2 ½ lbs. Oxtail
  • 1 Knorr Beef Cube
  • 1 bunch bok choy or pechay
  • 1 cup sliced Shiitake mushroom
  • 1 cup scallions chopped
  • 2 thumbs ginger cut into strips
  • 1 medium onion sliced
  • 3 pieces star anise
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Combine water and oxtail. Let boil. Continue to cook in medium heat for 15 minutes. Discard the water.
