Red Cooked Oxtails

Red Cooked Oxtails

I have never tasting anything I did not like if it has been prepared in a red cooking sauce. Whatever protein type you braise in this flavorful liquid comes out moist and tender. Red cooking is a Chinese technique of braising meat in a soy based liquid with sweet and savory spices added.  The long, slow simmering in the spiced liquid produces a rich, tender meat.

Last year I red cooked a piece of pork belly, and it literally melted in your mouth when you took a bite.

After braising the pork I cooled the braising liquid, removed the now solid fat from the surface and froze it for future use.

The future is here.
