This is a dish my husband and his family grew up on. We make this quite often and is always a hit in our house.

The soft and tender meat along with the vegetables, eggs and stew sauce makes this so tasty to eat with rice or noodles.

I hope you enjoy making and eating my version of the oxtail and brisket stew.

Steps

1

Cut the carrots and daikon in large diagonal chunks and transfer onto a plate. For the frying, cut the onions, spring onions, garlic and ginger. Place on a plate.
2

Gather and prepare the dry spice mix in the muslin and tie up.
3

Tie up the coriander stalks with string and transfer on the same plate as the muslin.
4

Clean the oxtail by running under water, or put in boiling hot water in a pan for 1min to remove any residue off the bones. Set aside and dry off with a towel if necessary.
5

Meanwhile, cut the brisket into nice thick chunks.
6

In a mixing bowl, add flour. Then coat each of the oxtail and brisket all over and set aside.
7

Add oil to a casserole pot on a high heat. Place the oxtail and brisket in the pot to sear. At first, don't move the meat around too much, it will come loose when one side is seared enough. Be sure to sear each side of each piece.
8

Once meat has seared add the ginger, garlic and spring onions. Cook for a few minutes until the onions are soft and translucent. Stir occasionally to combine all of the ingredients.
9

Then add the carrots and stir.
Add the rock sugar, soy sauces, shaoshing wine and then add enough water to cover the meat. Add the daigon, muslin spice mix and coriander stalks, then cover and boil with a lid for 10 minutes.
10

After 10 minutes, open the lid and skim off the impurities, then turn down to a low heat and let it simmer for about 4-6 hours. Check the stew every hour and skim off any impurities.
11

While the stew simmers, let's prepare the eggs. In a medium sized pot, on medium high heat bring water to a boil, then reduce heat low. Add the eggs carefully to avoid Cracking. Cook eggs for 7 minutes until almost set as they will cook further in the stew later.
12

Once the eggs are done, immediately transfer to ice cold water in a mixing bowl (this stops the eggs from cooking further) and let eggs cool down.
13

Once eggs have cooled down, with a teaspoon gently crack the eggs (this creates the beautiful marbling effect), and transfer to the stew to soak into the eggs.
14

Simmer stew until the oxtail and brisket become very soft and tender. Tip: meat breaks apart easily. Taste the stew and adjust if necessary (add more sugar, soya sauce etc).
15

To serve place steamed rice or cooked noodles in a serving bowl and ladle over stew along with the brisket, oxtail and vegetables. Peel the eggs from the stew, cut in half and place on top and garnish with coriander.
