Instructions

  1. 1

    Soak 1.5kg ox bones in cold water for 2+ hours to remove blood, then blanch in boiling water for 10 minutes to clean.

  2. 2

    Place bones and 300g brisket in 4L fresh water and bring to a boil on high heat.

  3. 3

    Skim foam, reduce to medium-low, and simmer 6-8 hours. Add water as it evaporates.

  4. 4

    Remove brisket after 2 hours and slice thin. Continue simmering bones until broth turns milky white.

  5. 5

    Strain broth through cheesecloth and skim fat for a clean milky broth.

  6. 6

    Place rice or noodles in a bowl, pour hot broth over, and top with sliced brisket, green onion, salt, and pepper.

Tips

Discarding the first boil removes impurities for a much cleaner broth.
A pressure cooker can achieve milky broth in about 3 hours.
Traditionally, each person seasons their own bowl with salt.
