Add in rinsed bones and parts into boiling water. Reduce to a simmer and keep covered.
Preparations – Bulbs & Vegetables
To clean white onion and garlic, wipe the outer skin with a damp cloth. Then slice them into halves.

For corn, peel off the silk and husk. Roughly chop corn into 1 inch or slice it in halves.
For ginger, peel off the skin. Chop and crush ginger.
For Chinese cabbage, roughly cut them into 1 inch in length.
Rinse Solomon’s Seal rhizome with tap water and set aside.
Chargrilling or Roasting the Bulbs & Roots
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.
Also add in the Chinese cabbage, Solomon’s seal rhizome, miso, and Shoyu.
Keep covered and simmer for 5 hours. Ensure the water level are sufficient throughout the whole period.
The Final 3 hours
At 5 hours, have the yuba sheets shredded and add into the 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.
8 hours Mark
Once you reach 8 hours, the broth should be very thick and creamy.
Season the broth with salt to your personal preferences and serve.
