Pork Bone Broth – Chinese Pork Bone Soup Recipe

Read In : ENG | 中文

My pork bone broth recipe will ensure you a creamy white pork bone soup that can be used for dishes like hotpot, noodle soup, stock, or drink as it is. I made this soup and share it with my friends for a hotpot dinner, everyone loves it and I am sure you will too!

Curated Based on Tonkotsu Broth

I curate this pork bone broth based on the method of making Japanese Tonkotsu broth, which produces a creamy white broth with an intense aroma of pork. The Japanese secret to Tonkotsu broth is to clean off all the blood trace of the pork bone, otherwise, the soup will turn murky brown instead of creamy white.

Author have a say…

This pork bone broth was done unintentionally, as I had a request from a friend to prepare a broth for a hotpot-get-together dinner. So I get all pumped up and come up with this pork bone broth recipe. It is more of a fusion pork bone broth, sort of a east meet west technique which I mashed it up. Here it is, I present to you a thick, creamy and gelatinous pork bone broth!

p/s : You will notice the recipe is a little different than what I had in my video, cause I had it slightly adjusted as some of the flavors overkill some other ingredients

To chargrill the bulbs and Roots, you simply need a grilling pan, flat pan, or a wok. Preheat a pan with a little cooking oil and chargrill the bulbs and roots. Grill until they turn brownish-charred.
To roast the bulbs and roots, place bulbs and roots vegetables facing upwards into a baking tray, apply some cooking oil on them. 30 minutes in a preheated oven of 230 degrees Celsius.

The First 5 hours

Once you have all your vegetables charred, add all the chargrilled vegetables into the simmer bone broth.

Keep covered and continue to simmer for another 3 hours.
At this point, check the water level – use a soup ladle to press down the boiled ingredients to check if there are 3 inches of water level remaining. If after the boiled ingredient is pressed down and the water level is lesser than 3 inches, add sufficient water to reach an approximate 3 inches gap.
