They are patiently raised for over 240 days on a non-GMO grain formula, enriched with active brewer's yeast, organic selenium, and probiotics to enhance their health. The entire rearing process is free from medication, with only vaccinations administered. Subsequently, they undergo CAS-certified flash-freezing to guarantee peace of mind and quality in every bite. **The Premier Choice for Broth, Naturally Rich in Collagen** These are select prime pork bones, characterized by their dense structure and abundant marrow, brimming with collagen and vital nutrients. When simmered, the broth turns milky white and rich, offering a mellow yet intensely savory flavor. They are the perfect foundation for authentic Japanese ramen broth, traditional nourishing stews, or wholesome baby food purees. Delicious and healthy, they are an essential soul ingredient for your kitchen's freezer. ★ The shape of the pork bones may vary. Images are for reference only, and specific parts cannot be requested. Please understand this before purchasing. We apologize for any inconvenience. ★ Pork bones are rich in fat and minerals. Due to natural variations in the pigs, the appearance may show varying degrees of deep red (marrow/hemoglobin) and yellow (fat), which is normal. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54534677615_e0d146e681_z.jpg **Step 1: Simmering the Broth** Ingredients: 1.5kg Jihēitun (極黑豚) soup bones (blanched beforehand), chicken feet (for thickening, optional), 5L water, 2 stalks green onion, 6 slices ginger, appropriate amount of white peppercorns. Method: Bring to a boil over high heat for 20 minutes, then skim off any foam. Add green onion, ginger, and peppercorns. Reduce to medium-low heat and simmer for 3–4 hours until the broth becomes milky white. (Cooking time can be reduced if using a pressure cooker.) Stirring continuously during cooking can accelerate the emulsification of marrow and collagen, making the broth progressively whiter and richer. ★ Tip: You can add rice wine, onion, or ginger and scallions during cooking to remove any gamey smell. You can also make a large batch and freeze it in portions. Thaw and reheat before use for quick ramen, congee, or hot pot broths. **Extended Variation: Tonkotsu Udon Noodles** 1. Thaw the broth: Pour the chilled or frozen Jihēitun (極黑豚) pork bone broth into a pot and heat over medium-low heat until slightly simmering. 2. Cook the udon noodles: In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and cook the udon noodles. Once cooked, drain and set aside. In the same pot, blanch slices of meat and your favorite vegetables, then drain. 3. Prepare the seasoning: In an individual serving bowl, add a small amount of soy sauce, mirin, and minced garlic. Pour the simmering tonkotsu broth into the bowl and stir lightly to create the soup base. 4. Assemble and serve: Add the udon noodles, meat slices, and vegetables to the bowl. Finally, top with a soft-boiled egg and sprinkle with chopped green onions. A few drops of sesame oil can be added for fragrance. — Done! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54533451907_0954af0a28_z.jpg ▼ Origin Taiwan ▼ Product Ingredients Pork bones * Products are cut directly from raw materials.
