Clean the bull head and legs thoroughly under cold water.

Chop the ginger and garlic into small pieces.

Slice the scallions, keeping the white and green parts separate.

Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the ginger and garlic until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

Add the bull head and legs to the pot, browning them on all sides for 5-7 minutes.

Pour in rice wine and soy sauce, stirring to coat the meat.

Add water to cover the meat completely, then bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to low and add star anise, cinnamon stick, and salt.

Cover and simmer for 3-4 hours until the meat is tender and falling off the bone.

Remove the meat and strain the broth to remove solids.

Return the broth to the pot and add sliced carrots and daikon radish, cooking until tender, about 15 minutes.

Shred the meat from the bones and return it to the pot.

Serve hot over cooked noodles, garnished with scallion greens and cilantro.
