Ingredients

3 cups water

1/3 cup Soy Sauce

3 tablespoons dry sherry

2 tablespoons sugar

3 fresh ginger root slices; 1/8-inch thick

2 garlic cloves; minced

2 dried star anise pods

2 cinnamon sticks; 2-inch pieces

3 pounds whole beef tongue; cleaned, trimmed

Directions

Crush the quarter sized slices of ginger with the flat surface of the cleaver. Mix all the other broth ingredients in a pot, add the tongue and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 2 hours; turning occasionally.

After the 2 hours, remove the tongue and cool slightly. Remove the skin and any excess fat, etc. Return the skinned tongue to the broth and continue simmering until the meat is fork tender; about 1 hour more.

When done remove the tongue,cool it, then cover and refrigerate until cold.

Thinly slice the tongue across the grain and serve with condiments.
