  Simmering beef ribs

  First, you put 1 piece of ginger and 1 onion peeled into the oven and roast for 5 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius.

  Tip: If you don’t have an oven, you can roast the onion and ginger directly on the gas stove.

  Then, you place a pot on the stove, add 2 liters of water to the pot and bring to a boil. When the water is boiling, add the beef ribs along with sliced ginger and onion into the pot and start simmering.

  To let the beef ribs absorb the seasoning and make the broth more flavorful, season with 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of seasoning powder, 1 tablespoon of salt, and stir well.

  When the pot of water boils vigorously, skim off the foam that rises to the surface to keep the broth clearer. Finally, turn off the heat and do not cover the pot so that by the next morning, the water released from the onion will help the broth become clearer and more fragrant.
