**How to Choose Delicious Bones for Soup**
One of the keys to making a tasty and clear bone broth is to select fresh and fragrant bones. If you end up with low-quality bones, your soup will likely turn out unappetizing and smelly.
When choosing bones, look for ones that have a fresh color and are free from any strange odors. They should also be bouncy and not release a lot of liquid when pressed, indicating their freshness.
How to Make Delicious Bone Broth
**Tips for Clarifying Bone Broth**
Step 1: Whisk an egg white and add it to your broth. Stir to create froth, then skim it off, leaving your broth clear again.
Step 2: When making beef broth, add a few roasted shallots to the pot. The red skin of the shallots will help clarify and add a beautiful color to your broth.
Step 3: If your chicken broth turns cloudy, adding more chicken bones to the pot can help clarify it.
Step 4: Alternatively, add a few dried shiitake mushroom caps or raw potato slices to your broth to help clarify it.
Step 5: Mix minced meat with egg whites and shiitake mushrooms, then add this mixture to your cooled broth. Strain your broth using a fine cloth or a small-holed sieve to remove any sediment, then bring it to a boil again for a crystal-clear finish.
Secrets to a Crystal-Clear and Sweet Bone Broth
**The Secret to Delicious Bone Broth Without MSG**
Combine bones, a roasted shallot, and a teaspoon of salt in a pot. Add enough water to cover the bones and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low.
Simmering on low heat allows the natural sweetness and flavor of the bones to slowly infuse into the broth, resulting in a more delicious and savory soup. Remember to skim the froth regularly to keep your broth clear.
Additionally, adding half a green papaya to your broth will help tenderize the bones faster, resulting in a sweeter and more appealing broth.
