Ingredients:
1 lbsOxtail, divided into
-sections
2 Cloves garlic, chopped fine
1 tbspFish sauce (nam pya ye)
1/2 tspSalt
4 cupWater
1/8 tspPepper
1/2 bunchWatercress, divided into
-stems
Procedures:
1The combination of oxtail and watercress gives the soup a rather unconventional flavor and makes it a fine luncheon dish.
2It is reputed to be nourishing for nursing mothers.
3Watercress is specified, as substitute for the traditional green known as "chaste leaf" or "indian wild pepper" (vitex trifolia), kyaung- ban in burmese.
4Broil the oxtail in a gas or electric broiler until well roasted and slightly charred, about 15 minutes.
5Better still, barbecue over charcoal to impart a slightly smoked flavor.
6Put everything except the watercress into a pan, and bring to a boil.
7Cover the pan and cook over moderately low heat for 1 hour or more to tenderize the meat until it comes away from the bone.
8Add the watercress, cover the pan, and cook for 3 minutes more.
9Serve hot
