Bakuteh (Pork Rib Soup)
Mum's House
This soup, said to have been invented by the Hokkien Chinese, is a popular dish in Malaysia and Singapore. It is a hearty herbal soup made with pork ribs and eaten with plain boiled rice. Bak Kut Teh, if made with the herbal sachet mix, is a pungent and robust soup and is perhaps not for the feint hearted. However, a second, lighter version using spices and goji berries is also included in this recipe as another option.
