Soto Betawi

I was asking my friend to buy a beef intestine so i can make the Gulai Tambuksu. Instead she bought me the beef tripe. So i just make this soup instead of gulai (Indonesian curry).
The english version is a modified from the recipe in Bahasa Indonesia as I only use the ingredients that i have in the kitchen.




Ingredients:
500gr beef
250 gr washed and cleaned tripe
2 bay leaves
2lt water
2 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp cinnamon
4 lemon leaves

1 tbsp oil
400ml coconut milk


Grind:
4 cm ginger
8 shallot
3 garlic
1 tsp roasted coriander seed
1/2 tsp roasted black pepper
1/4 tsp roasted cumin


Method:

1. Boil the tripe with bay leaves in 500ml water  about 20 minutes. Discard the water and the bay leaves.
2. Add the beef  and 2000ml water, cook until the water is boiling, add nutmeg, cinnamon, lime leaves and salt. Cook until the beef is tender.
3. Remove the beef and tripe from the stock, diced the beef and tripe about 2cm x 2 cm size.
4. Put beef and tripe back to the stock.
5. In a wok, heat oil in a medium saucepan over a medium heat, add the spice paste. Stir fry until fragrant.
6. Add the coconut milk to the wok and cook until it's boiled.
7. Pour the coconut mixture to the beef stock, stir and cook until it's boiling.
