My oxtail pho recipe is a simple recipe that I learned from my mom. My family is not Vietnamese, but my mom learned to develop a great Vietnamese oxtail pho recipe! Her knack for cooking and experimentation with all sorts of ethnic dishes lends no surprise to her amazing recipes. Now let’s get started on this oxtail pho recipe
