Oxtail Fried Rice

This oxtail fried rice recipe is so delicious and flavorful. The oxtail meat is pressure cooked first so it falls off the bone, then mixed in with the rice and all the rest of the yummy ingredients. The best part about this recipe is that it can be made with leftover rice which is typically how fried rice is made anyway. But don’t worry, I’ve included steps on how to make rice as well.

Ingredients

• Oxtails – Season the oxtail well before pressure cooking. Trim some of the fat off before as well.
• Beef broth – Pressure cook the oxtails in vinegar before making the rice as this is about a 45 minute process.
• Rice, frozen peas and carrots, bean sprouts, soy sauce, onions, garlic and eggs – Once the rice and eggs are cooked, you’ll saute all the ingredients together in a large wok pan

Pressure Cooking the Oxtails

1. Trim any excess fat off of the oxtails. You’ll still want to leave a bit of fat on.
2. In a bowl, seaon the oxtail with vinegar, salt, ground black pepper and granulated garlic.
3. Heat enough olive oil in a pressure cooker and add the oxtails.
4. Saute the oxtail over medium high heat for 3-5 minutes on each side or until browned.
5. Add enough beef broth to the pressure cooker to cover the oxtails. It took me about 5 cups but this can vary depending on how large or small your pot is.
6. Lower the heat to medium and place the pressure lid on the pot, ensuring it is locked in.
7. Once the oxtails come to pressure, cook for 45 minutes. You’ll want to begin cooking the rice as the oxtails are pressure cooking (unless you’re using leftover rice for this recipe).
8. Allow the pressure to naturally release and manually release any remaining pressure before opening the lid.
9. Remove the oxtails form the pan, and use a fork to shred the meat. Set aside as you make the rest of the recipe.

Make The Rice

1. In a small pan, add oil and heat over medium high heat.
2. Add the rice and water.
3. Cook the rice until water reduces and you see tiny holes at the top of the rice.
4. Reduce heat to low, cover the rice with a lid and continue cooking until cooked. The rice should be fully cooked in about 12-15 minutes.

Make the Oxtail Fried Rice

1. Make the scrambled eggs by adding a little butter to a pan. Add in the eggs and cook while mixing them so they scramble. Set aside.
2. Heat the sesame oil in a wok pan over medium high heat and add the chopped onion. Saute until translucent, then add the minced garlic. Saute for about 2-3 seconds.
3. Add the rice, scrambled eggs, bean sprouts, frozen peas and carrots and shredded oxtail to the wok pan and stir until ingredients are fully combined.
4. Add in the soy sauce, mix and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes.
5. Garnish with green onions and serve immediately.

Recipe Notes

• Make this recipe even easier by using up leftover rice.
• Make it your own by adding in whatever vegetables you prefer.
• It’s extremely important to release all pressure from a pressure pot before opening the lid.
