I am Indonesian and like very much this food, try this...:
SOTO BABAT (Clear Tripe Soup)
OVERVIEW:
This is usually served with sambel tomat as a contrasting condiment. The sugar cane is used to help soften the tripe rather than to add any sweetness to the soup.
INGREDIENTS:
600 gr beef tripe, cleaned and washed well
3 liter water
1 liter beef stock
1 cup beef spice paste
5 cm sugar can stem, split lengthwise
(optional)
2,5 cm ginger, peeled and sliced lengthwise
4 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced
1 tbsp distilled white vinegar
200 gr giant white radish, peeled and diced in 1 cm cubes
5 sprigs celery leaf chipped
1 tbsp fried shallots
PREPARATION:
Rinse tripe well under running water until very clean. Bring water to boil in a large pan, add tripe and simmer until soft approx 1 hour.
Strain water and cool tripe in ice water. Cut in pieces approx 2,5 cm x 1cm. Bring beef, beef spice paste, sugar cane, ginger, garlic and vinegar to boil. Add tripe and radish. Simmer until vegetables are soft. Garnish with celery leaf and fried shallots.
Helpful hints:
Any type of summer squash or Chinese winter melon can be used instead of giant white radish (Japanese daikon). This soup reheats well.sing cabbage, the cooking time will be much shorter. Season to taste with salt and pepper and garnish with fried shallots.

This sounds good. I might try it if I could find some of the ingredients. For instance, the beef spice paste, I know I would not be able to find that where I live. My parents lived in a Mexican neighborhood in Chicago where you could go to a bar on Sunday morning and get a bowl of tripe soup for free. My brother tried it and said it was good, and spicy. I wonder what kind of recipe they used?
