Ingredients:
- 250 grams beef ribs, boiled until tender
- 1 potato, peeled and diced
- 5 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 5 shallots, thinly sliced
- 1/2 onion, thinly sliced
- 15 bird’s eye chilies, sliced
- Ground pepper and coriander, to taste
- Salt and sugar, to taste
- Sweet soy sauce, to taste
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Ingredients:
- Begin by peeling the potato and cutting it into small cubes.
- Slice the garlic, shallots, and onion thinly to ensure they cook evenly and release their flavors effectively.
- Slice the bird’s eye chilies. Adjust the amount according to your preferred level of spiciness.
-
Sauté the Aromatics:
- In a pan, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat.
- Add the sliced garlic, shallots, and onion. Sauté until they become fragrant and the onion turns translucent.
-
Incorporate the Beef Ribs:
- Add a small amount of water to the pan, just enough to create a bit of steam.
- Introduce the boiled beef ribs into the pan, mixing them with the sautéed aromatics.
-
Season and Simmer:
- Add sweet soy sauce, salt, sugar, ground pepper, and ground coriander to the pan. Stir well to ensure the ribs are evenly coated with the seasoning.
- Continue to cook the mixture until the beef ribs become tender and fully absorb the flavors. This step may take a few minutes, so be patient to achieve the best taste.
-
Add the Potatoes:
- Once the beef ribs are tender, add the diced potatoes to the pan.
- Continue cooking until the potatoes are cooked through and the liquid has reduced significantly, resulting in a slightly thickened sauce.
-
Final Touches and Serving:
- Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning if necessary. The flavors should be balanced with a hint of sweetness from the soy sauce, spiciness from the chilies, and a savory depth from the aromatics and spices.
- Serve the spicy stir-fried beef ribs hot, garnished with additional slices of bird’s eye chilies if desired.
Enjoy this flavorful and aromatic dish as a main course, perfect for warming up any meal with its rich, spicy profile.
