- 1 thumb-sized piece of ginger, smashed
- 1 stalk green onion
- 1 stalk celery

Instructions
-
Prepare the Beef Ribs:
- Place the beef ribs, water, cardamom pods, cloves, and smashed ginger into a slow cooker. Cook on high for approximately 1/4 of the cooking time until the meat is starting to become tender.
-
Add the Spice Paste:
- Blend the shallots and garlic cloves into a smooth paste. Optionally, you can sauté the spice paste in a little oil for enhanced flavor before adding it to the slow cooker. Add the spice paste to the slow cooker and continue to cook until the beef is halfway cooked.
-
Incorporate the Vegetables:
- Peel and chop the potato and carrot into bite-sized pieces. Add them along with the chopped green onion and celery to the slow cooker. Cook until the vegetables are tender and the beef is fully cooked.
-
Season to Taste:
- Season the soup with salt and white pepper according to your preference.
-
Cooking Time:
- For best results, continue to cook the soup in the slow cooker on high for approximately 6 hours. If you prefer to use a stovetop, bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the beef and vegetables are tender.
Notes
- This soup can be cooked on the stovetop if you prefer, though it may require more active monitoring.
- The slow cooker method ensures deep flavors and tender meat, making it a great option for a hands-off cooking approach.
