Hello there, here is a link where you can find all kinds of Filipino food recipes, including Kare-Kare!

Your better off using Mama Sita's Kare-Kare mix. All you have to do is buy the Ox-Tail, boil it for a good 6 hours (for an awesome tenderness), add that mix, then add about 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, however much string beans you want & bukkchoy. Add however much salt you want for taste or you can just eat it with Bagoong. That's it! it's so easy & delicious. BTW, Mama Sita's Kare-Kare mix is sold at any Asian/Filipino food market or 99 Ranch Market....Show more

I copied this from Mama Sita's website. I always buy a Mama Sita mix (from the Filipino store) if I want to make KareKare. I just add 1/4 cup of peanut butter to the mix. It takes a lot of time (3 hours maybe) to boil the oxtails at first but the rest is easy.


INGREDIENTS

3 cups Buntot ng baka (oxtail), cleaned and cut into serving pieces
8 cups Water
1 tsp Garlic, crushed
1 pc Onion, sliced
1 tbsp Cooking oil
1 pouch Mama Sita’s Kare-kare (Peanut Sauce) Mix, dissolved in:
1 cup Water
1 cup Eggplant, cut diagonally about ¼ inch thick
1 cup Sitaw (long green beans), cut into 2 inches lengths
1 bundle Pechay (bok choy)
½ cup Bagoong alamang (sautéed shrimp)


COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

Boil oxtail in 8 cups and simmer until meat is tender leaving about 1 ½ cups (375 ml) stock. Set aside.

Sauté garlic and onion in oil. Add oxtail and Mama Sita’s Kare-kare (Peanut Sauce) Mix. Add the remaining stock. Stir and simmer for two minutes.

Add eggplant and string beans. Simmer for three minutes. Stir once in a while to prevent the sauce from sticking to the pan.

Add pechay and simmer for two minutes or until the vegetables are done.

Serve with Bagoong Alamang. (optional)

VARIATION: Pressure cook ½ kg oxtail for 45 minutes to one hour with 3-4 cups water....Show more
