👨🍳 Οδηγίες

Prepare the ribs: Place the beef ribs in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat for 5 minutes. This process, called blanching, helps to remove impurities and create a clearer broth. Drain the ribs and rinse them under cold water. Discard the blanching water and clean the pot.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 2
Start the broth: Return the blanched ribs to the clean pot. Add the smashed garlic cloves, sliced ginger, and whole black peppercorns. Pour in 2.5 liters of fresh cold water. Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then immediately reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer gently.
⏱️ 2 hours - 3
Simmer until tender: Let the ribs simmer gently for at least 2 hours, or until the meat is very tender and starting to pull away from the bone. Skim off any foam or impurities that rise to the surface during the first hour of simmering to ensure a clear broth. The longer and slower the simmer, the more tender the ribs will be.
⏱️ 2 hours - 4
Add vegetables: Once the ribs are tender, add the prepared potatoes and carrots to the pot. Continue to simmer for another 20-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but not mushy.
⏱️ 25 minutes - 5
Season and finish: Remove the ginger slices and garlic cloves if desired. Stir in the freshly grated nutmeg. Season the soup generously with salt to taste. The broth should be flavorful and well-balanced.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 6
Serve: Ladle the hot soup into bowls, ensuring each serving gets plenty of ribs and vegetables. Garnish generously with thinly sliced celery, leek, and fried shallots. Serve immediately with lime wedges and sambal on the side for guests to customize their bowls.
