| INGREDIENTS: |
| 1/2 cup fish sauce |
1/4 teaspoon five-spice powder |
2 tablespoons sugar |
| 4 pounds short ribs on the bone, halved
through the bone, or oxtail cut into 1-inch-thick pieces |
1 tablespoons vegetable oil |
4 to 6 small yellow onions, peeled |
| 3 large cloves garlic, peeled and lightly
crushed |
3 ounces fresh ginger, cut into 3 slices and
lightly crushed |
2 cups young coconut juice or beef stock |
| 2 stalks lemongrass, outer leaves and tough
green tops removed, root ends trimmed, and bulbs halved crosswise and
lightly crushed |
4 to 5 star anise |
1 cinnamon stick, about 2-1/2 to 3 inches
long |
| 3 to 4 dried chilies or 2 to 3 fresh bird's
eye or Thai chilies |
1 teaspoon annatto seeds |
2 to 3 large carrots, peeled and sliced

Combine the fish sauce, five-spice powder, and sugar
in a dish. Add the short ribs or oxtail, coating well, and allow to
marinate, refrigerated, for 4 to 6 hours. |

Heat together the oil, onions, garlic, and ginger in
a sand pot or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-low heat. Cook the
ingredients, stirring often, until fragrant and golden, about 10
minutes. Add the marinated meat, scraping the marinade from the dish
into the pot. Add the coconut juice or beef stock and cover the pot.
Bring to a boil over medium heat. Add the lemongrass, star anise,
cinnamon stick, chilies, and annatto seeds and simmer covered
(occasionally turning the meat) over medium-low heat for 2 hours.
Add carrots and continue braising until the meat falls off the
bones, 1-1/2 to 2 hours more. Skim off the fat and serve with rice
on the side. |
