Steps:

Grill oxtail over medium-high heat until charred on all sides, for smoky essence.
Bring 3 gallons water to a boil in a large pot with the salt, then add the oxtail. Boil in brine for 1 hour 30 minutes.
In a large roasting pan, render lard with onions, garlic, bay leaves and cracked pepper. Add oxtail to pan, then add soy sauce, vinegar and achiote powder. Give it a nice stir together. Bring to a vigorous boil then braise/simmer, slow and low until tender, an additional 45 minutes.
Serve with Garlic Rice, Kimchee Cucumbers, Chili Peppah Watah, scallions, fried garlic and chicharrons.
In a fry pan on medium heat, add oil, rice and garlic. Cook until rice is a little crispy and golden brown in color, 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle garlic salt and black pepper.
Mix together base, vinegar, sesame oil and rock salt in a bowl, then add cucumbers.
Combine vinegar, chile sauce, sriracha, rock salt and chile peppers, then whisk together. Chill for 1 hour.
