Boil oxtail in a very large pot with water, ginger and onions until very tender, when meat comes off easily from the bones.  Takes about an hour or more.  Remove all visible fat.  Reduce until half the water is gone.  Brown rice in a hot pan until golden brown.  Remove from heat.  Grind and set aside for garnish.  Heat oil and sauté garlic and vegetables.  Add the oxtail with the reduced liquid.  Add peanut butter until sauce thickens.  Reduce heat.  Sprinkle the browned rice on top before serving.
