Simmer the Ribs:
Return the cleaned beef ribs to the pot, add the whole spices (cinnamon stick, cardamom, and cloves), and cover with fresh water. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Cook until the beef is tender. -
Prepare the Spice Paste:
While the beef is simmering, make the spice paste. In a skillet, sautรฉ the garlic and shallots until fragrant and golden brown. Once cooked, add the spice paste to the pot with the beef ribs. -
Cook the Vegetables:
Add the potatoes and carrots to the pot. Continue to simmer until the vegetables are almost tender. Then, add the green beans and cook until all the vegetables are fully cooked. -
Season and Final Touches:
Season the soup with salt and beef stock powder, adjusting to taste. Add the chopped tomato, scallions, and celery. Stir well and cook for a few more minutes until everything is well combined and heated through. -
