Gather @green bean{150%g} and @shrimp paste{3%tbsp}.

Place the @oxtail{1.2%kg} in a heavy pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil; skim off the foam.

Lower the heat and simmer until fork-tender, 2–2.5 hours, topping up water as needed. Strain and reserve the broth, setting the meat aside. ~{135%minutes}

In the same pot, sauté the @garlic{5%clove} in a little of the reserved fat until golden and fragrant.

Whisk the @peanut butter{200%g} and toasted @rice flour{2%tbsp} into 3 cups of the reserved broth until the sauce turns velvety and lump-free.

Return the oxtail to the sauce; add the @eggplant{1} and green beans and simmer 10 minutes. ~{10%minutes}

Stir in the @bok choy{300%g} for the last 2 minutes, just until wilted. ~{2%minutes}

Serve with rice and the bagoong on the side — season at the table, not in the pot.
