Today will be Short and Tasty.
Too tired last nite to go out for a brewsky. I slept most the day. Set up another MD visit for Friday and had my S.O. drive me to the grocery store. Too tired to walk to the ID for food.
I think I found a theme to my food gathering. I go to one store a day. So Day 1= QFC, Day 2= Grocery Outlet, Day 3= Uwajimaya.
Breakfast
Instant Coffee and cookies :)
Lunch
Left over Crustless Quiche.
(didn't look really pretty but tasty)
I modified the recipe using squash, green onion and a couple left over broccoli , No oil used, No cheese.
Dinner
Cooking Korean Oxtail Soup
(best pic's and recipe that is similar I could find)
Using below ingredients and the spicy packet from the instant soup to flavor.
Many of the soups at the Asian market have about 3 packets inside if you know which ones to buy. The packets: (1) Dehydrated tofu, Seaweed &Veggies (2) Spices(careful lots of salt) (3) Sesame seed oil packet. Then w/ an egg based noodle.
To cook Oxtail it's best to boil once for 1 hour. Then dump and clean oxtail under warm water. This cleans the meat, cooks off blood and the fat. Then bring oxtail to boil again and keep at rolling boil for 3-4 hrs. Covered. 1/2 pound in about 4-5 cups water. Let it reduce to 3 cups. Then last hour add 1" rounds of Korean or Daikon radish, 1/2 the spicy packet from instant soup. Serve the boiling soup over bok choy cut in half and rest of green onion minced as garnish over the top.
Makes about 2 servings. Ate w/ some rice. (Saved 1/2 cup broth for later cooking)
If you want to make it almost fat free you boil then cool it overnight in frig. then next day take off the top layer of fat. You can use the rendered fat for cooking/flavor to eggs, rice, fried rice, and other stir fry.
I usually just give it to my dog. It helps his coat (I add the salt later).
My mom triple boils it. Final boil lasts overnight w/ about 5lbs of oxtail. No fat is left and a opaque white soup is left that is liquid gold for joints d/t the cartilage (is made totally absorbable).
