Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 kg Pork ribs
- 8 cloves Garlic
- 2 pieces Star anise
- 1 piece Cinnamon stick
- 5 pieces Cloves
- 1 tbsp Black peppercorns
- 3 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Keto-friendly sweetener
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp White pepper powder
- 2.5 liters Water
- 2 tbsp Chopped scallions
- 2 tbsp Chopped cilantro
Instructions
Rinse the pork ribs under cold water to remove any bone fragments. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
Peel the garlic cloves and crush them lightly using the flat side of a knife.
In a large pot, add the pork ribs and cover them with 2.5 liters of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and carefully remove any scum or impurities that rise to the surface using a slotted spoon.
Add the garlic cloves, star anise, cinnamon stick, cloves, and black peppercorns to the pot. Stir to combine.
Add the soy sauce, keto-friendly sweetener, and salt to the soup. Stir well to ensure the spices are well distributed.
Cover the pot with a lid, leaving it slightly ajar, and let the soup simmer gently for about 2 hours or until the pork ribs are tender.
Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or soy sauce if needed.
Turn off the heat and let the soup rest for a few minutes.
Ladle the soup into bowls, ensuring each serving has both broth and pork ribs.
Garnish with chopped scallions and cilantro before serving.
Enjoy your bowl of warm Keto Bak Kut Teh Soup, savoring its aromatic and comforting flavors.
