Ingredients
- 1 lb beef shanks
- 800 ml coconut milk
- 4 shallots
- 5 garlic
- 2 cm fresh ginger
- 2 cm fresh galangal
- 2 stalks lemongrass
- 5 lime leaves
- 5 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 2 tablespoon nutmeg powder
- 4 Fresno red chili
- 4 Thai chili optional
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons oil
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a food processor, combine shallots, garlic, ginger, galangal, chili, salt, and water. Blend until it becomes a paste.
- Lightly coat the beef with salt and pepper.
- In a wok, heat the oil and cook the beef for 2-3 minutes in high heat. Set aside.
- Add the paste to the wok and fry for 3-5 minutes. Return the beef to the wok.
- Add lemongrass, lime leaves, bay leaves, nutmeg powder, and turmeric. Continue stirring for another 3-5 minutes.
- Add coconut milk to the wok and continue stirring in high heat until the coconut milk breaks apart/separates. This is important to get the oil from coconut. Once it separates/simmer, turn the heat to low and cook for 3-4 hours covered. You need the steam to help the cooking process.
