Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups beef bone broth
- 1 pound pork bones
- 4 cups water
- 1 2-inch piece, sliced ginger
- 3 stalks, cut into large pieces green onions
- 6 cloves, smashed garlic
- 6 whole dried shiitake mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Sichuan peppercorns
- 2 whole star anise
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Begin by parboiling the pork bones to remove impurities: place the pork bones in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Allow them to boil for 5 minutes, then drain and rinse the bones under cold water.
In a clean large pot, combine the parboiled pork bones, beef bone broth, and 4 cups of water. Set the pot over medium-high heat and bring to a gentle boil.
Add in the sliced ginger, green onion pieces, smashed garlic cloves, and dried shiitake mushrooms. Stir to combine.
Lower the heat to medium-low, allowing the broth to simmer gently for 90 minutes. Skim off any foam that appears on the surface as needed.
After 90 minutes, add the soy sauce, sesame oil, Sichuan peppercorns, star anise, and salt to the pot. Stir well to incorporate the additional flavors.
Continue to simmer the broth for another 30 minutes, allowing the spices to infuse thoroughly into the liquid.
Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the solids, leaving a clear, fragrant broth.
Taste the broth and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately or keep warm on low heat until ready to use as a base for your keto hot pot ingredients.
