Spicy Korean Cabbage and Oxtail Soup

Spicy Korean Cabbage and Oxtail Soup

This **Korean-Style Spicy Oxtail and Potato Stew** is a rich, comforting dish that combines tender oxtail, hearty potatoes, and bold Korean flavors for a deeply satisfying meal. The oxtail is first blanched with ginger to remove any gaminess, then pressure-cooked until fall-off-the-bone tender. Stir-fried green onions add aromatic depth, while the potatoes soak up the savory broth. The star of the dish—**Korean-style spicy cabbage**—brings a tangy, fiery kick that elevates every bite. Simmered together, the flavors meld into a robust, slightly spicy stew that’s perfect over rice or enjoyed on its own. Easy to make yet packed with umami, this recipe is a delicious twist on classic oxtail stew, perfect for warming up on chilly nights or impressing guests with its bold, layered taste.
