Each type of beef, pork or duck, chicken has a different way of stewing and boiling bones. But in the initial step of stewing, you can all apply a small trick which is to add roasted salted egg to the broth.
How to do:
Bones stewed with roasted salted egg broth will be very sweet and clear
Step 1: Roast 1 tablespoon of salted egg.
Step 2: After cleaning the bones (if it is pork or beef bones, blanch it with the first water, rinse it again) put them into a pot and pour water over them. Add roasted salted egg (not refined salt) into the pot and put it on the stove.
Step 3: Boil the bone pot on the stove with the highest heat until it boils, then turn it down to let the broth simmer slightly. Absolutely do not add spices, MSG or fish sauce at this time. Boiling with low heat will help the sweet water in the bone to be released slowly, making the broth more flavorful and attractive. When stewing the bones, you should also skim off the foam regularly to make the broth clear. Each type of bone will have a different stewing time. Remember to open the lid during the stewing process.

Step 4: After the bones become soft, the broth will become sweet and clear, you can continue to cook different dishes accordingly.
Note:
For pork bones: After stewing with salted egg until it’s done, you can add dried onions or papaya to make the broth sweeter and clearer.
Depending on the dish, you can add suitable spices after stewing the broth
For beef bones: Beef bones are more complicated than other types of bones in the processing and stewing time. When processing, cut the beef bone tube in half, soak it in water to remove the residue. Then, bake the bones at 250 degrees for about 20 minutes, then blanch the bones and blanch them with the broth of roasted salted egg.
Beef bone stewing usually takes at least 2-4 hours or if it’s more complicated, it may take 6-7 hours. After stewing beef bones, the other spices will decrease. If cooking pho, you can grill ginger, onions, and star anise. If cooking beef noodle soup, you can add lemongrass, fried onions, and shrimp paste…
