Oxtail soup!

So, with the leftover oxtails I had, tonight I made a soup. It's very good. My husband loved it, too.
It's kind of a strange mix of American and Japanese/Korean influence. I started with mirepoix, then added dashi, soy sauce, Korean red pepper threads, garlic, ginger, and mirin for the base. We simmered it for hours, and the oxtail made such a rich and beautiful broth. I added daikon to cut the salt and the fat, and finished it with a bit of cracker bread. The cracker bread wasn't as good as the focaccia I made before, so now I'm making a new batch of focaccia to eat with the soup tomorrow.
