Directions
- Arrange oxtails in single layer in a heavy large pot. Add next 7 ingredients and water until oxtails are covered. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to low, partially cover, and simmer until very tender, adding more water as needed to keep oxtails covered for 3 hours. Transfer oxtails to large plate.
- Boil sauce until reduced by half but not too much more, otherwise it will be too salty. Just add more water if this happens. Strain juices and toss solids.
- Meanwhile, cook bok choy in a large pot of boiling water until just tender, about 4 minutes. Drain well.
- Divide bok choy among 4 bowls. Place oxtails next to the bok choy and place 1 handful of sprouts on the side. Pour broth over and sprinkle with green onions.
