Ox Tongue
Submitted by alfred on Thu, 2011-04-14 15:54
Was in the supermarket when I spied some fresh ox tongue, so I decided to cook up an old favorite of mine.
First you have to boil the tongue whole for about 10 min to so that the membrane around it toughens up enough to be sliced off. 
Next caramelize some rock sugar, toss in a cinnamon stick, some star anise, cloves and garlic and continue to cook till it's really fragrant.
Next add the prepared ox tongue and fry for another few minutes, turning it once or twice.A Then add some good quality dark sauce and two trays of ice cubes into the pot and let simmer for an hour or so, adding some firm tofu in the last 10 min or simmering.
Serve with rice and blachan.

Looking at that reminds me
Looking at that reminds me Alfred, did you get the three tastes of pork at Ryans?
Its always a sneaky way to put offal into people's meals: heart, tounge and intestine, sliced finely.

Try this
simmer long and slow....the skin comes away very easily, there's no waste and it's very moist.

I love tongue but the missus
I love tongue but the missus won't buy it as it grosses her out. My mum used to cook it in an Italian stew Lamb and also Ox tongue.
Love the West!
