5 dried shiitake mushrooms
2 cups warm water
3 pounds oxtails
coarse salt and black pepper, to taste
garlic powder, to taste
1/2 cup flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup chopped onion
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 piece (1" size) fresh ginger, peeled, slivered
3/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup light soy sauce
1/4 cup oyster sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
Soak the mushrooms in the warm water for 30 minutes or until tender. Drain the mushrooms reserving one cup of the liquid.
Meanwhile, season the oxtails with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Place the flour in a shallow dish.
Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Dredge the seasoned oxtails in the flour and shake off any excess flour. Add the oxtails to the Dutch oven and cook, turning frequently, until brown on all sides.
Add the mushrooms, onion, garlic, and ginger to the Dutch oven and cook, stirring gently, for 1-2 minutes.
Combine the ketchup, soy sauce, oyster sauce, vinegar, and brown sugar until well mixed. Whisk in any flour leftover from dredging the oxtails. Slowly whisk in the reserved mushroom liquid.
Add this mixture to the Dutch oven and stir well.
Transfer everything from the Dutch oven to the crock pot. Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 6 hours or until the oxtails are tender.
Serve the oxtails with the sauce over rice.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
