   • Begin by bringing a large pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the beef ribs. Allow the ribs to cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or longer depending on your preferred tenderness. Skim off any foam that rises to the surface to keep the broth clear.

2. Make the Spice Paste:

   • While the beef ribs are simmering, heat a little oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, shallots, and ground candlenut. Sauté until fragrant and golden brown.
   • Add the smashed ginger and continue to cook until the spices are aromatic and fully integrated.

3. Combine Ingredients:

   • Once the beef ribs are tender, add the sautéed spice paste to the pot. Stir well to combine, allowing the flavors to meld.

4. Prepare the Vegetables:

   • Peel, chop, and wash all the vegetables. Add the carrots to the pot first, followed by the cauliflower, potatoes, and green beans. Continue to simmer until all vegetables are tender.

5. Season the Soup:

   • Season the soup with sugar, salt, and a seasoning mix to taste. Adjust the flavors according to your preference. Cook until all ingredients are well seasoned and the soup is fully cooked.

6. Serve:

   • Garnish with chopped spring onions and celery. Serve the hot soup with steamed rice or bread for a complete meal.

Tips

• Adjust the amount of spices and seasoning based on your taste preferences and the size of your pot.
• For added richness, you can also include a splash of soy sauce or a dash of lime juice before serving.

Enjoy this hearty Sop Iga Sapi as a comforting meal that’s perfect for any occasion, from everyday dinners to special gatherings.
