Tripe Oxtail Kare Kare Recipe is an all time Filipino favorite stew made of pork or beef, tripe, vegetables in peanut sauce and served with delicious shrimp paste (bagoong). Be prepared to eat lots of rice with this dish.

Other variants of Kare Kare recipe calls for a different cut of meat aside from oxtail or tripe. It is still scrumptious no matter what cut of meat you use. Serve it with shrimp paste (bagoong). Kare Kare is not complete without shrimp paste.

Prepare the shrimp paste ahead of time. When buying shrimp paste in a bottle I believe they are already cooked but I still prefer to saute with onion and garlic.

After boiling oxtail and tripe can I use it right away?

Yes, but if I am using the broth I place it overnight in the fridge. The following day the fat will accumulate on top of the broth. Scoop out and discard the fat.

Can I brown the meat after boiling?

Yes, add the meat after you saute the garlic and continue on with the other steps. Doing this or the above steps will not alter the taste of the Tripe Oxtail Kare Kare Recipe.

Can I use the shrimp paste right out of the bottle?

I hate to say “yes” but I believe they are already cooked and ready to be consumed. I always saute the shrimp paste in onion and garlic. That is my preferred way.

Is it OK to make extra servings of Kare Kare?

Yes, in fact I find it tastier once it is a day old. Make sure to remove the vegetable once the mixture is cooked. The vegetables will continue cooking even though heat has been turned off. No one wants a soggy veggie.
