Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds beef shank (pata baka)
- 1.5 pounds pork hock (pata baboy)
- 10 cups water
- 1 large onion, quartered
- 1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 3 medium potatoes, peeled and halved
- 2 large carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
- 2 cups green beans, trimmed
- 2 ears corn on the cob, sliced into 2-inch pieces

Instructions
In a large pot, combine beef shank and pork hock with 10 cups of water. Bring to a boil over high heat, skimming off any scum that rises to the surface.
Add the quartered onion and whole black peppercorns. Lower the heat to medium and simmer for about 60 to 90 minutes, or until the meat becomes tender.
Once the meat is fork-tender, add fish sauce to the broth and stir to combine.
Add the potatoes and carrots to the pot. Simmer for 10 minutes, or until they start to soften.
Add the corn and green beans. Cook for another 5 to 8 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but not overcooked.
Lastly, add the bok choy to the soup and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until wilted.
Taste the broth and season with salt as needed.
Serve hot in bowls, ensuring that each serving gets a generous portion of broth, meat, and vegetables. Enjoy with steamed white rice or on its own!
