This is a perfect stock to make on a Sunday, when you have a few hours at home, watching a Korean drama to decompress before the Sunday scaries truly set in.
In many cultures bone broth has been seen as a medicine and for such good reasons:
For this stock, I’ve added in a few more Chinese herbal ingredients that have powerful anti-inflammatory properties but these aren’t necessary to get the most benefits from bone broth alone. But if you want to check out most of the Chinese medicinal herbs I use on a daily/weekly basis, I’ve created a list on Amazon here.
Now let’s get into the recipe!
Give the bones (5–6 lb) a wash and let them soak in some cold water while you prep the other ingredients
If you’ve got the herbal ingredients, give them a good wash first
Drain the bones then add to a pot with the washed herbal ingredients
Add enough water to cover everything by 1 inch, then drop in the ginger (1 head) and tangerine peels (2–3)
Bring to a boil slowly, making sure to skim off excess scum
Once it’s starting to boil, turn the heat down to low and let it simmer for 4 hours
After that, the meat will be super soft and tender and the broth will take on a much milkier color
Remove as much of the meat off the bones as possible then drain the stock, removing the herbs
Storage
The stock can be kept in the fridge for up to a week or kept in the freezer for up to a year
