Korean Oxtail Soup - an Asian bone broth served with a chili sesame scallion topping. Oxtail and root vegetables are cooked slowly with ginger and onion.

Korean Oxtail Soup is an Asian bone broth that is perfect for bone chilling winter weather. The chili sesame scallion topping brightens up this hearty oxtail soup. I remember my mom making oxtail soup once in a while during the winter. There’s something about the gelatinous meat of oxtail that I love. It’s an acquired taste, but worth trying. We used to have a Jamaican woman babysit our kids and she would make Jamaican oxtail stew, another delicious preparation of oxtail.

There are a few steps to making oxtail soup. The first is to boil the oxtail bones in water to remove some of the impurities and scum. This will make a clearer soup.

Once this is done, remove the oxtail and rinse with water. Return to a clean pot and add root vegetables and aromatics. I used carrots, daikon, burdock root, ginger and onion.

Oxtail soup takes about 2 hours to cook. You want the meat to be very soft and tender.

This Korean oxtail soup is traditionally served over somen noodles (thin wheat noodles that can purchased in the Asian grocery store). A sauce made with soy sauce, sesame oil and Korean red pepper flakes is served alongside the oxtail soup. Chopped scallions and toasted sesame seeds are also served with this Korean oxtail soup.
