Rinse salt beef and put it to boil to reduce salt content, changing the water until the salt volume is acceptable.

Wash dried gungo peas and add them to the pressure pot with enough water to cook.

Add garlic to the pressure pot and cover it to start cooking.

Clean chicken feet with vinegar, season them along with the fresh beef, and marinate until the pressure pot is opened halfway through.

Prepare dumpling dough and set it aside.

Peel, wash, and cut pumpkin, carrot, and Irish potato into smaller pieces to add thickness to the soup.

After about 10 minutes, add the seasoned beef and chicken feet to the pressure pot, cutting the salt beef into smaller pieces.

Add the prepared pumpkin, yam, and sweet potato to the soup.

Add coconut milk (using powdered coconut milk) to the soup along with dumplings and stir well.

Allow the soup to boil, then add pumpkin noodles and stir to prevent sticking.

Add spices, including black pepper (pierced with cloves), bay leaf, and any additional seasoning as needed.

Taste the soup after about 20 minutes of boiling, adjust seasoning if necessary, and remove the bay leaf before serving.
