john. there is very little liquid. for one entire Oxtail, i would guess 1-2 cups of liquid. in my dutch oven. a 5.5 qt pot. i guess it is 11" in diameter, the liquid is half in deep.

soy sauce, michu cooking wine, (ubiquitous big green bottle at asian stores), one bunch green onions. cut 2 inch sections, green and white parts. 2 star anise, and sugar. we use asian rock sugar. i bet light brown would do the same thing. (ssssshhh, i sneak a pinch of red pepper flakes when wife is not looking)

the juice taste very teriyaki like. about the same "power" of flavor. taste it to balance the sweet, salty thing. you wont taste much grn onion or anise that early in the game. it reminds me of the intensity of korean kalbi or bulgogi. good luck. i'll measure exact amounts this afternoon for you. we just splash at this point. we are doing two tails around 2 pm.

remember you have to do this in a oven. or it would burn on the bottom because of the sugar.
