Bak Kut Teh


A big pot of steaming bak kut teh.

How about cooking it e easy way?!
Yeah, you could buy those ready package bak kut teh herbs and spice mix off shelves @ any chinese supermarket (any brand of your liking)

Oor.. if you would like to cook it from scratch,
Here e unfolding of e recipe:

2.5 litres water
800g pork ribs

Heral ingredients
2 star aniseeds
3g dang-shen
200g garlic
3g cassia bark
30g yu-zhu
2 tbsps peppercorns

Seasoning
2 tsps salt
20g rock sugar
1 tbsp dark soy sauce
1 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tsp pepper

Method
1. Blanch the pork ribs in hot water. Rinse well. Set aside.
2. Bring water to the boil. Put in heral ingredients. Simmer for 30mins. Add pork ribs and seasoning. Simmer for 45mins. Serve.

This another simple dish to cook, you just have to dump all e ingredients in a big pot and cover up lid and just leave it to simmer for about 1hrs+ and e last step season to taste of your liking. How difficult can this be?

You could served it as a 1 dish meal
