BEEF BONE SOUP AKA SUP TULANG

Beef Bone Soup aka Sup Tulang is another Malaysian all time favorite. It's a Malaysia favorite aphrodisiac.There are a few version and most popular are the Mamak Style or the typical Malay style. Both are awesome!

This may sound awkward to those new to this recipe....please don't get wrong ... this dish is not purely bone but bone with some meat connected to the bone and the flavor is more enhanced, including the fun of slurping the marrow.

Essentially this recipe,  requires chunks of beef bones (ribs or from the leg) to be boiled with an array of roots, herbs and spices to make a clear broth. Garlic, ginger, turmeric, coriander (seeds and leaves), carrots, onions and potatoes are the usual seasoning ingredients. It should not be mistaken with sup tulang Singapore which is cooked with a thick red sauce.

Another trick to flavour the soup even more, and to add an extra ingredient to the dish, is to use bones with marrow -- an oily, gelatine-like substance abundant in the leg bones. It is unbelievably packed with flavour and can elevate a good sup tulang to a great one.

Sup Tulang, rasanya menu yang sukar di tangkis, memang favorite kebanyakan kita, lebih-lebih kalau dapat tulang som-som...wee....mak ai.... memang sedap. Kalau sup tulang selalunya dimasak dua cara, satu yang berempah mamak style dan satu lagi sup tulang sebelah utara tanah air....resipinya mudah aje main campak aje, lebih-lebih lagi sekarang ini banyak rempah sup yang siap ada dijual dipasaran. Ramuan tambahan ikut cita rasa masing-masing. Dalam resipi ini saya masukkan makaroni rebus, barley rebus untuk memekatkan sup tidak kurang juga kentang dan tomato. Sedap jika dibuat sambal kicap atau cili minyak.
