Crispy Beef Bulalo Flakes Recipe

Combine beef and water in a heavy pot over medium-low heat. Add onions, celery, garlic, fish sauce, soy sauce, vinegar, pepper, and chili. Simmer until beef is very tender, about 2 to 3 hours. 

Transfer beef to a bowl. Strain soup and reserve for serving. Place beef in the refrigerator to dry for at least 1 hour or overnight.

Shred beef using two forks. Heat oil in a deep pan. Deep fry beef until crispy, about 15 minutes. Strain and transfer to a serving plate. Top with fried garlic and onion rings. Serve immediately with bulalo soup and lots of rice on the side.
