Instructions:

Prepare the Beef Trotter: In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the beef trotter pieces along with the cinnamon stick, smashed ginger, cloves, cracked nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Cook the trotter over medium heat until it becomes tender. This may take approximately 2 to 3 hours. Once the meat is tender, remove it from the pot and set it aside. Reserve about 2 liters of the cooking liquid.

Make the Soup Base: To the reserved cooking liquid, add the plain milk, ghee, sweet soy sauce, black pepper, sugar, and salt. Stir well to combine and adjust the seasoning according to your taste.
-
Simmer the Soup: Return the beef trotter pieces to the pot with the soup base. Simmer gently for an additional 20 to 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
-
Serve: Ladle the hot soup into bowls. Garnish with diced tomatoes, sliced scallions, and a sprinkle of fried shallots. Serve alongside pickled cucumbers, emping, and a side of ground bird’s eye chili for added heat. Don’t forget a squeeze of lime or a dollop of sambal to brighten the flavors.
