Prepare Pork Neck Bones

To make clean and savory pork bone broth, preparation is the key to removing unpleasant flavors.

Especially neck bones contain lots of blood in vessels so cleaning bones is necessary before cooking.

  • Soak neck bones in cold water for 2 hours before cooking
  • Parboil neck bones to remove gamey flavor and excess fat

Clean Pork Neck Bones

Soak pork neck bones in cold water for 2 hours before cooking to remove blood. Ideally, change the water a few times.

Parboil Pork Neck Bones

It is better to parboil neck bones to remove gamey flavor and also it helps to clean bones as well.

Simply, cover the neck bones with cold water in a large pot and bring the water to a boil. Keep cooking them for 5 minutes and drain them.

Rinse the bones thoughtfully while removing scum from the bones.

Other Ingredients

In Japanese cooking, we often use flavorful vegetables to add rich sweetness while removing unhappy flavors in a broth such as “ginger” and “leeks”.

Ginger

Ginger’s savory substances, shogaol, trimethylamine, and piperidine, combine with meat proteins to get rid of a gamey taste.

Also, spicy substances in ginger such as cineole, gingerol, and zingiberene have a stronger taste than the amines, so you don’t taste gamey taste much.

TAKE A PEEK INTO JAPANESE PANTRY: HOW TO USE SHOGA GINGER IN JAPANESE COOKING

The ginger root is often used in Japanese cooking as well, including in stir-fries, simmered dishes, soups, and as a garnish.
Ginger, this Asian-native spice is known for its traditional medicinal properties we take ginger to warm up the body, improve the digestive system, and ease a sore throat.
In cooking, ginger has the effect to reduce the gamey flavor in the meat, and the fishy flavor in seafood, also, its unique flavor can bring “Japanese flavor” to a dish.

Leeks

Leeks contain a component called allyl sulfide which works to remove the gamey flavors of the meat.

I indicate green parts of leeks in my recipe, it’s just because green parts of leeks often don’t use for cooking.

It is no problem to use white parts too. By the way, I always store green parts of leeks in a freezer without discarding them.

Here is the storage tip about how to keep leeks fresh longer in a fridge if you are interested.

If you don’t have leeks, onions, scallions, and celery leaves can be substituted.

Other vegetables I add to make pork broth at this time are to add extra sweetness and flavors.

If you have vegetable leftovers (especially root vegetables!), throw them in the soup for a rich complex flavor.
