2. How to Make Papaya Bone Broth

🔹 Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

1. Rinse the pork bones in diluted salt water, then blanch them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes to remove impurities. Rinse again with clean water.

2. Peel the papaya, remove the seeds, and cut into bite-sized pieces. For a crunchier texture, soak in lightly salted water for 10 minutes, then rinse.

3. Peel and finely chop the shallot. Slice the ginger thinly. Rinse and chop the green onion and cilantro.

🔹 Step 2: Simmer the Bones

1. In a pot, bring 1.5 liters of water to a boil, then add the pork bones, shallot, and ginger slices.

2. Skim off any foam to keep the broth clear. Lower the heat and simmer for 40-50 minutes to extract the natural sweetness from the bones.

🔹 Step 3: Cook the Soup

1. Once the broth is rich in flavor, add the papaya and simmer for another 10-15 minutes until soft.

2. Season with salt, seasoning powder, fish sauce, and sugar. Stir well and adjust to taste.

🔹 Step 4: Finish & Serve

1. Turn off the heat, then add green onions and cilantro. Sprinkle with pepper for extra aroma.

2. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot to enjoy the natural sweetness of papaya and bone broth.
