With the weather starting to feel more like fall, I was craving some Yakamein. I had some leftover brisket and thought it would be great in this. Made the broth with some oxtails that I slow simmered with some veggies for about 4 hours. Added the brisket about the last 30 min to add some smoke flavor. It hit the spot.

This is the broth. I added about a pound of leftover smoked brisket in the last 30 min. I served this with half a boiled egg, green onions and sriracha over angel hair pasta. I shredded the oxtails to snack on

12 cups water
Top half of a bunch of celery
2 carrots
1 onion quartered
10 peppercorns
Stems from a bunch of parsley
2 pounds raw oxtails
2 bay leaves
2T ketchup
1tsp fish sauce
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 tsp hot sauce
Bring to a boil and then simmer for 4 hours. Strain solids and serve

Looks good
Ketchup seems odd to me. Just for acid? Sugar? Would tomato paste accomplish the same thing?

It’s a small amount, but it’s there fits the acid and a touch of sweetness that’s not overpowering. If you don’t want the tomato in there, you could get away with a touch of seasoned rice wine vinegar and a small amount of brown sugar, but I like what the ketchup adds.

Mine was similar with the addition of Bachan's Original sauce and I used a tongue for the meat. I cooked the tongue separate and added it towards the end...it melted in your mouth.

Never cook this particular dish before, but I'm intrigued so I decided to cook a pot tomorrow. Going to use an elk shank from a cow I killed this past season. Maybe add a couple oxtail or smoked pork shanks for the broth.

Cooked down some pork necks for the broth with onions, bellpepper, garlic, fish sauce, soy sauce, hot sauce, smoked paprika, beef stock, and Cajun seasoning. Probably missed something I added. Had the elk shanks in the crock pot all day with beef stock. Shredded it and the meat off the pork necks. Added it to the pot. Topped with boiled egg and scratch and green onions. Also, added the bone marrow from the elk to some butter and used that as an app with a (fresh) baguette! The whole family ate it!

Thanks. I probably couldn't repeat the exact recipe if I tried. I'm more of a splash of this kinda guy. But it was delicious. This could be my go to cold weather meal for the hunting camp. I cooked 1lb of angel hair pasta which was way to much for my family lol. But they all loved it.

Think you could cook a ton of pasta and ladle the goodness accordingly

My kids won’t eat them soft boiled. Also, this isn’t Ramen. Most Yakameins that I have had used hard-boiled eggs.
