Oxtail sinigang
December 3, 2005
Filed under Filipino food, Meat recipes, Soup recipes, Vegetable recipes
There are several ways of cooking the oxtail. You can do it the traditional way by simmering it. It will take several hours but slow cooking really is best. Or you can use a crockpot. But if you don’t have much time to spare, there’s always the pressure cooker. Personally, I really love my pressure cooker. It means I don’t need to look in on the oxtail as it cooks. If there is enough liquid, I don’t have to worry about the oxtail sticking to the bottom of the cooking pan.
If you pressure cook your oxtail but want to achieve the texture of slow cooked meat, cool the cooked oxtail then let it sit in the fridge, in its broth, overnight. There’s something about allowing the broth to congeal that makes it richer the next day.
Once your oxtail is tender, just proceed cooking your sinigang the usual way. You can follow the recipe for my sinigang na buntot ng baboy.

Hi, C!
Your link here to the recipe for sinigang na buntot ng baboy results in a 404 error. Just letting you know.
Hi Mik, yeah, one of those I lost in December 2005 disaster.
I have to say, I love your site. I just want to let you know I have copied all your recipes ( well, almost ) and made a recipe book ( just regular notebook ) for personal use with no intention to sell. I love, love your recipes. Being new overseas, I had a hard time trying to cook the Fil dishes I enjoyed when I was in PI because the lack of the usual ingredients. I am enjoy cooking, unfortunately never took the time to watch and learn from my grandma who’s a caterer. I regret that. Anyways, a few Fil I met here were nice enough to teach me what to substitute if I was missing some ingredients not available here. They were great. Some though, not very. I tried nicely to ask for how some recipes were done during some get-together but got a “I’ll cook for you” instead response. I kind of got the idea of course that they do not want to share. So thanks for sharing! My husband and daughter loved what I have copied off your site. Thanks again !
