• Remove from the heat. Separate the carrot and cubed. Let the broth cool down.
• Oxtail Soup:In a different pot, add 6 cup broth with herbs, oxtail, salt, the cloves and another half of cracked nutmeg. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer until the meat is tender, approximately 2-4 hours.
• Pour in some more vegetable broth instead of water when needed until they become tender. If you use a pressure cooker, the process will be faster.

• Ready to serve with warmed cooked rice, emping crackers, lime or calamansi and sambal lado uap.
