Beef Short Rib Sup Tulang |
|
Sup Tulang in Malay
means "bone soup". It is slow cooked meaty beef bones in a
aromatic spicy soup. The key spices are coriander seed,
cinnamon, and star anise. The spicy hotness comes from the
addition of pepper and chilli. Here is a short-cut way to make
this soup in a jiffy:
|
1. Ingredients
- Sup Tulang ready-mix paste.
1 or 2 packets (depending on how strong you wish the soup to
be).
I use Adabi brand Sup Tulang paste:

Beef & Ribs Soup paste
|
- Around 1 kg Beef Ribs (short or
otherwise).
- Potatoes; cubed.
- 1 or 2 brown onions (or more if
you choose to use shallot onions).
- Whole chillis (dried or fresh);
sliced length-wise and de-seeded if you wish to moderate the
spiciness).
- Black Pepper; coarse ground.
- Coriander leaves; chopped (for
garnish)
|
2.
Method
- Wash the ribs.
- Place the ribs in a saucepan or
pressure cooker.
- Add water to twice the depth of
the ribs (you can judge how much water to add according to
how much soup you wish to end up with).
- Slice the onions and then add to
the ribs.
- Add coarse ground Black Pepper
according to taste.
- Bring everything to the boil and
then lower the heat to let the soup simmer.
In a saucepan you will probably need to simmer for some two
hours or more to get the meat on the ribs to become tender.
In a pressure cooker set at 15 pounds per square inch, I
find that cooking for some 30 minutes will result in tender
meat.
- Halfway through the simmering
time, add the sup tulang paste.
At this time also add as much cubed potato as you would
like.
- Cook until the end of the set time
and then test the potatoes and meat for doneness.
- Adjust your soup with condiments.
Your main condiment will be salt.
I used fish sauce.
- Garnish with chopped coriander
leaves.
- Serve hot.
ENJOY!
