Ingredients

1 ox tongue

2 celery stalks

2 smalls carrots

15 black pepper corns

coriander stalks

Liquid gold or use this stock – check out my pig ears recipe

1 star anise

2 cardamon

Preparation

Place whole tongue into slow cooker with celery stalks, carrots, coriander stalks and black pepper. Put the first hour to HIGH and then low for the next 3-4 hours

Remove the tongue and allow it to cool down. Remove the skin and tough muscles (if any). I sliced some thinly. Some I pan fried with just butter and the other, I marinated it with teriyaki sauce and then quickly pan fried them

Slice the rest in big pieces. Fill the slow cooker with the leftover stock or you can make fresh ones. Add the chunks in and allow it to slow cook on LOW for another 4-5 hours

Serve with steamed rice and a simple Chinese stir fry vegetables or salted mustard greens
