This broth is served with fresh noodles with vegetables and protein of your choice. Ensure you season with soy sauce or salt before serving. For example, I like it served with roast pork, bok choy and mushrooms with egg noodles.
Hao SiFu’s pork bone broth
Ingredients:
- 4-5 pounds of pork leg bones and knuckles
- 1 pound of chicken bones (neck or wings work best)
- 2 large onions – chopped in half
- 6 cloves of garlic – lightly crushed
- 1/2 Chinese white radish – chopped roughly (replace with carrots if unavailable in your area)
- 1 thumb piece of ginger
- Handful of dried shitake mushroom (pre-soaked)
- Handful of conpoy (dried scallop)
- 1 tpsn of crushed black pepper
- Several dashes of Chinese rice wine
Method:
- Boil the bones in a separate pot for at least 10 minutes. Remove from water and rinse carefully under tap water.
- Crack the leg bones along the middle (we used a giant cleaver) Place washed and cracked bones in clean pot with cold water and bring to boil.
- Add all other ingredients.
- Gently boil with lid slightly ajar for at least 8 hours (the longer the better) stirring occasionally. It will smell terrible for the first 2 hours for some reason – this is normal. I've also used pressure cooker which reduces the cooking time to about 2 hours. It's still very good but unfortunately you don't get the nice emulsification of the fats.
- The finished product will look like a rich, opaque, creamy white colour. Strain before serving.
