Oxtail Udon

Oxtail Udon is a Japanese inspired noodle soup dish prepared with fall of the bone slowly cooked oxtails on dashi stock served with chewy udon noodles

Ohhh Oxtails, I can’t get enough of you, one of the most underrated meat cut that deserves everyone’s attention. Its meaty, its tasty, its collagen rich, its everything you want a meat to be and that’s what we are using today in our udon noodle soup. This is not your usual udon noodle soup because the common ones are just a simple noodle dish where it focuses on the noodle and broth, hence the popular one is the Kake Udon. While that is good, as it can focus you on the experience of eating quality broth and noodles, as a meat lover like me, I need a bit of meat in this dish hence this recipe of our today is what I call my perfect udon.

Fall of the bone oxtails, chewy udon noodles and umami filled broth, this defines comfort food, add to that some toasted garlic chips, ohhh my God this is heavenly. It is a very simple dish, all you need it sauté and boil for a long period of time, while the wait can be daunting, trust me it is all worth it. Give it a try and let me know if this is your type of comfort food.
