Cooking procedure:

• 1. Bring water to boil
• 2. put the garlic and the packe of spcie (use 1 packet) enough for 4-6 people into the boiling water and then boil for about 10 minutes. Cover the pot with a litd
• 3. Add in the meat pieces. for the authentic taste, we recommend pork ribs with the bones attached. Some Chinese like to suck on the bones after eating the meat as the bones have been infused with the taste of the spices and they taste great. But this is really up to the individual. For less messy tables, meat without bones is fine.
• 4. Add in thick soya sauce and salt and then cover lid to boil for 1 hour at low temperature. For the Soya sauce and salt, different individuals may want different intensity of salty taste. Experiment with a few different intensities. However, generally the soya sauce is about 4-5 tea spoons and salt about 1-3 tea spoons. Add a little salt and soya sauce first. taste a little to test the waters. you can always add in more later on.
  
• 5. Serve it hot.

Ingredient for Bak Kut Teh preparation:

3 pieces of whole garlic.
