Bak Kut Teh

Thank God for pre-packs..=)

I've finally gotten down to trying this.

Ingredients:

• Pre-packed Bak Kut Teh herbs.
• 500gm frozen pork ribs. (I chose this coz it was cheaper. You may want to use fresh pork ribs, but frankly, no difference in taste.)
• 4 cloves of garlic (Skin removed)
• 6 dried mushrooms, soaked and halved.
• Dark soy sauce
• Pepper

Preparation:

• Marinate pork ribs with dark soy sauce and pepper for at least 1 hour. (I did this overnight.)
• Soak and half mushrooms.
• Remove skin on garlic

Method:

1. Follow instructions on pack. (Boil herbs in approximate 1 litre of water for 20min.)
2. Add all the other ingredients in and boil over low heat for at least 1 hour.
3. Serve hot.

(You may serve this with rice or noodles, mee sua, etc...)
