👨‍🍳 조리법

1. 1

   Boil the beef in water or broth until tender. Drain and set aside the beef and the broth. Cut the tender beef into bite-sized cubes.

   💡 전문가 팁: Using a pressure cooker can significantly reduce the cooking time for the beef.
2. 2

   In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil. Sauté the sliced shallots, garlic, and ginger until fragrant and lightly golden. Add the ground turmeric, coriander, and cumin, and stir for another minute until aromatic.

   💡 전문가 팁: Ensure the aromatics are cooked until softened to release their full flavor.
3. 3

   Add the beef cubes to the pot and stir to coat them with the spice mixture. Cook for about 5 minutes.

   💡 전문가 팁: This step helps to sear the beef and infuse it with the initial spices.
4. 4

   Pour in the reserved beef broth. Add the bruised lemongrass, galangal, bay leaves, and kaffir lime leaves. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for at least 1 hour, or until the beef is very tender and the flavors have melded.

   💡 전문가 팁: Simmering allows the spices and aromatics to fully infuse the broth.
5. 5

   Stir in the thick coconut milk and sugar. Continue to simmer gently for another 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the soup is heated through and slightly thickened. Do not boil vigorously after adding coconut milk.

   💡 전문가 팁: Gentle simmering prevents the coconut milk from curdling.
6. 6

   Season the soto with salt to taste. If using chili peppers, you can add them whole during simmering or finely chop them for extra heat.

   💡 전문가 팁: Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. The saltiness will balance the richness of the broth.
7. 7

   Serve the Soto Sulung hot, ladling the soup and beef into bowls. Garnish with fried shallots and fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges and rice or lontong on the side.

   💡 전문가 팁: Condiments like chili sauce or a dash of soy sauce can be offered for those who like extra flavor.
