Clean the beef tripe thoroughly under running water.

In a large pot, boil the beef tripe and oxtail until tender, about 2-3 hours.

Remove the meat and set aside, reserving the broth.

In a separate pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat and sauté onion and garlic until fragrant.

Add the annatto seeds to the oil and stir until the oil turns reddish.

Mix in the peanut butter and cook for a few minutes until well combined.

Pour in the reserved broth gradually, stirring to avoid lumps.

Add the cooked beef tripe and oxtail back into the pot.

Incorporate the banana heart, eggplant, string beans, and bitter melon.

Simmer for 15-20 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

Season with fish sauce, salt, and black pepper to taste.

Serve hot with steamed rice and shrimp paste on the side.
