Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken bones or beef bones
- 2 inch piece, sliced fresh ginger
- 5 cloves, smashed garlic
- 3 stalks, cut into 2-inch pieces green onions
- 2 whole pods star anise
- 1 whole cinnamon stick
- 4 whole cloves
- 1 tablespoon Sichuan peppercorns
- 10 cups water
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.5 cup, chopped (optional for garnish) fresh cilantro
Instructions
Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the chicken or beef bones on a baking sheet and roast them for 30 minutes until they are browned. This step will enhance the flavor of your broth.
In a large stockpot, add the roasted bones, sliced ginger, smashed garlic cloves, green onions, star anise, cinnamon stick, cloves, and Sichuan peppercorns.
Pour in 10 cups of water and bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cover the pot.
Allow the broth to simmer for approximately 2.5 hours, skimming off any impurities that rise to the surface.
After simmering, strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve into another pot to remove the solid ingredients.
Return the strained broth to the stove over low heat and stir in the coconut aminos, fish sauce, and sea salt. Adjust seasoning to your taste if necessary.
Serve hot with your choice of paleo-friendly vegetables, meats, and garnishes like fresh cilantro.
