Uncover the secrets to crafting a soul-warming Pork Bone Soup that delights both palate and spirit. From simmering to serving, we guide you through the journey of creating this comforting classic.
In a large bowl, soak the pork bones in cold water for 1 to 2 hours to draw out some of the blood. Drain and rinse the bones.
Put the bones and ginger slices in a large stockpot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat. As soon as the water boils, remove the pot from the heat, drain, and discard the ginger slices.
Rinse the pot, return the bones to the pot, and add the 10 cups water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Add the onion, mushrooms, minced ginger, and doenjang. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer for 11⁄2 hours.
While the bones are simmering, in a small bowl, mix together the chiles, garlic, fish sauce, mirin, gochujang, and gochugaru.
Remove the mushrooms from the stockpot, which have now been reconstituted, and slice them, and return to the pot. Add the sauce mixture, potatoes, cabbage, and scallions. Simmer for 30 more minutes.
Season with pepper just before serving hot.
