Steps

1

Wash all ingredients and let them drain.
2

Lightly crush the lemongrass stalks. Add the pork ribs, beef brisket, and lemongrass to a pressure cooker with 8 1/2 cups water (2 liters). Add a little salt. Cook for about 30 minutes.
3

When done, release the pressure, open the lid, and remove the lemongrass. Add 1 packet of beef noodle soup seasoning mix and stir well. Simmer for another 10 minutes so the meat absorbs the flavors. Adjust seasoning to taste.
4

Blanch the noodles and vegetables. Serve in bowls with lime and chili if desired.
5

For the chili satay: Finely chop chili, lemongrass, and garlic, then sauté with a little oil for about 5 minutes. Season with a little salt and sugar to taste. Let it reduce slightly, then add 1 teaspoon annatto oil for color, stir well, and turn off the heat.
