Ingredients

  • 500 gr beef shank

Spice A

  • 10 pcs shallots
  • 4 pcs garlic
  • 3 pcs candlenut
  • 2 tsp ground coriander
  • ½ tsp ground cloves
  • ½ tsp nutmeg
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil

Spice B

  • 3 pcs lime leaves
  • 3 pcs bay leaves
  • 1 pcs galangal
  • 1 pcs ginger
  • 2 stalk lemongrass
  • 1.5 liter water
  • 130 ccc coconut milk add 500 cc water

Seasonings

  • 3 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp mushroom powder optional
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp pepper

Toppings

  • Emping fried chips
  • Tomato slices
  • Fried potato squares
  • Chopped leeks
  • Fried shallots
  • Lime
  • Chili sauce

Instructions

  • Blend all spices in group A. Set aside.
  • Fry the potato slices or squares. Set aside.
  • Cook the meat in a pressure cooker for 50 minutes.
    If you plan to use tripe, you need to cook it separately. Throw away the water after cooking the tripe. Use the broth from the meat. Set aside the meat.
  • Heat some cooking oil. Put in spice A.
  • Put all the spices in group B.
  • Stir fry until fragrant. Pour in the broth from the
    meat.
  • Let it simmer.
  • Take some broth, mix with coconut milk and water in
    a bowl.
  • Put it into the soup, stir until well blended.
  • Let it simmer.
  • This is optional but in my family it is a must! I always strain the broth. I throw away all the spices in group B and sieve all spices in group A. So I have a very
    smooth broth.
  • Put the sifted broth in a clean pot. Put in the tender meat. Let it simmer.
  • Chili sauce: cook the chilis until the water boils.
  • Blend the chilis and water smoothly. Set aside.
  • Put the fried potatoes, tomato slices, some meat, the broth in a bowl. Sprinkle with fried shallots, emping chips, and minced leeks.
  • Give some sweet soy sauce and pickled cucumber. Enjoy!
