Oxtail Udon. Oxtail Udon (テールスープうどん) is not a common Japanese dish, but a few years ago, my JOC teammate, Naomi, told me about this super delicious udon noodle soup she loved at Kemuri Japanese Baru in Redwood City, CA. As a big fan of oxtail, Mr. JOC wanted to try this new (then) restaurant.
Both udons have the same broth and toppings, just different meats. The broth has a rich umami flavor, and the fat from the oxtail gives a nice mouthfeel without being too oily- which is super hard to do. It is a bit on the salty side, so I wouldn't drink it by itself, but the. You can cook Oxtail Udon using 10 ingredients and 7 steps. Here is how you cook it.

Oxtail Udon step by step
- Soak ox tails for 2 hours to get rid of the blood. Boil some water with 1 Tbsp of salt. When the water is boiled, put ox tails in and boil for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, drain the ox tails, clean under running water..
- Clean the pot well, put ox tails back. I used an onion sack to put the dates, ginger, star anise and orange peel. It would be easier to remove after the soup was done. Put the raw peanuts and shiitakes into the pot, because they will be served with the soup..
- Add water 4 cups of water and 4 cups of chicken stock or beef stock. Bring to a boil, then turn to medium heat and simmer for 3 hours..
- Season with some salt, black pepper, 1 Tbsp of sugar and 1 Tbsp of fish sauce..
- Boil 1 1/2 cup of water with 1 Tbsp of salt. Blanch the bokchoy for 2 minutes. Remove. Cut into bite size, put in a mixing bowl, drizzle some sesame oil. Mix well. Set aside..
- In the same boiling water, put one package of udon (there are 3 pack udon in 1 package), boil for about 2 to 3 minutes. Drain well. Put into serving bowl. Pour soup with ox tails, peanuts and shiitake over udon, put bokchoy and some chopped green onion on top. Enjoy!.
