Keto Bak Kut Teh (Pork Rib Broth)

Ingredients

• 2 lbs Pork Ribs
• 8 cups Water
• 8 cloves Garlic
• 3 whole Star Anise
• 1 small Cinnamon Stick
• 1 tbsp White Peppercorns
• 2 tbsp Soy Sauce
• 1 tbsp Dark Soy Sauce
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 cup Mushroom

Instructions

1. 1Place the 2 lbs Pork Ribs in a large pot or Dutch oven. Add enough water to cover the ribs completely. Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat, about 212°F (100°C). Boil for 5 minutes. Drain the ribs in a colander and rinse them under cool running water to remove any impurities.
2. 2Return the blanched 2 lbs Pork Ribs to the clean large pot or Dutch oven. Add the 8 cups Water, 8 cloves Garlic (peeled but left whole), 3 whole Star Anise, 1 small Cinnamon Stick, and 1 tbsp White Peppercorns. Stir in the 2 tbsp Soy Sauce, 1 tbsp Dark Soy Sauce, and 1 tsp Salt.
3. 3Bring the contents of the pot to a rolling boil over high heat, about 212°F (100°C). Once boiling, immediately reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer gently for 1 hour and 45 minutes, or until the 2 lbs Pork Ribs are very tender when poked with a fork. The broth should be fragrant with the spices.
4. 4Add the 1 cup Mushroom to the pot during the last 15 minutes of simmering. Continue to simmer, covered, until the mushrooms are tender.
5. 5Carefully ladle the hot Keto Bak Kut Teh into individual bowls. Serve immediately.
