Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork bones
- 12 cups water
- 1 medium white onion
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1 inch piece ginger
- 1 medium daikon radish
- 1 medium carrot
- 2 cups bok choy
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 green onions
- 0.5 cup cilantro
- 1 lime
Instructions
Rinse the pork bones under cold water to remove any bone fragments. Place the bones in a large stockpot.
Fill the pot with the 12 cups of water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Skim off any foam that rises to the surface.
Peel and halve the white onion, peel the garlic cloves and ginger. Add them to the pot with the bones.
Let the bones simmer for at least 2 hours, adding more water if necessary to keep the bones submerged.
While the bones are simmering, peel and slice the daikon radish and carrot into half-inch thick rounds.
After the bones have simmered for 2 hours, add the daikon and carrot to the pot. Continue to simmer for an additional hour.
Once the cooking time is complete, remove the bones and vegetables from the pot using a slotted spoon.
Strain the broth through a fine mesh strainer to remove any remaining solids. Return the clear broth to the pot.
Add the sliced bok choy, soy sauce, fish sauce, salt, and black pepper to the broth. Simmer for another 10 minutes.
Finely chop the green onions and cilantro, and then slice the lime into wedges.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with green onions, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice just before serving.
