warningStay safe

Blanched beef offal retains high heat inside; handle carefully to avoid burning your fingers while cutting.

Scoop out the blanched beef offal and drain. Cut into uniform bite-sized pieces using a kitchen knife.

Watch out

Cut the offal into slightly larger pieces as it will shrink further during long simmering.

Always use oven mitts when moving hot claypots or opening lids; claypots get extremely hot and can cause severe burns.

Transfer the boiling offal and soup into a claypot. Add 2 star anise, 3 bay leaves, 1 cinnamon stick, 1 tsaoko, 3g fennel seeds, and 4 dried chillies. Cover with lid, bring to a boil over high heat, then switch to low heat and simmer for 2 hours until tender.
