Step 1

Wash the meat pieces under running water. Then fill a large mixing bowl with water. Let the meat pieces soak in the water for 30 minutes.

Step 2

After 30 minutes, drain the residual water. And rinse-off the meat again.

Step 3

Then place each meat piece in a large pot. Fill the pot with just enough water to cover the meat pieces. Bring the pot up to a boil on a high heat.

Step 4

Once it starts boiling, drain out the pot. And give the boiled meat pieces one final wash under running water.

Step 5

Place each cleaned, boiled meat piece back into the pot. Now fill the pot up with 25 cups of water. (If you're pot is small, reference notes.)

Step 6

Then bring the pot back to boil on a high heat. Once it starts to boil, use a soup ladle and scrape off the residual scum on the surface.

Step 7

Then reduce your heat to LOW (Important!). Let it gently simmer for at least 5 hours.

Step 8

Note: Every 2 hours, open the lid and skim-off the residual oil.

Step 9

After ~5 hours, you will end up with a rich and milky broth. And the meat will be pull-apart soft.

Step 10

Dice green onion into small pieces.

Step 11

Mix 1 Tablespoon of salt and 5-6 cracks of black pepper on a small plate.

Step 12

Take out bowl. Scoop some broth in the bowl - alongside a few oxtail pieces.

Step 13

IMPORTANT: It's time to season your bowl. Grab a spoon and scoop-up a little bit of salt & pepper from the plate. Don't add too much at once - then taste and add more if needed.

Step 14

Finish with by sprinkling the green onions over your bowl.

Step 15

Optional, but highly recommended: Mix in few scoops of white rice into your bowl. Bon Appetit!
