Step 1: We start cooking the toughest meat first if you are using shaki (cow tripe). Put in a pot, add the seasoning cubes and one onion.
Step 2: Pour water to cover the contents and start cooking on medium heat. Keep an eye on it and top up the water when necessary.
After 30 minutes, add the fleshy part of beef and continue cooking.
