Shoyu, sugar, MSG, and other flavorings.
Par-boiled pork, rinsed, braised pork with ginger, bamboo shoots and sauce. A dash of vinegar, and a dash of apple whiskey.
Be safe and well.

Nest door to Sunday’s steak take-out is a boba tea shop (same owner). While The Cat and The Mouse were waiting for the steak order, took a peek next door.
In addition to boba drinks, the shop also offered Taiwanese snacks and bentos. The Cat ended up ordering a pork and bamboo bento for weekday lunch.
Vegetables (various) and a tea egg. Nice spread. The Cat left a little of the pork for The Mouse to try.
Rice, pork, tomato, and carrot. Mmm. Although the pork was on the lean side, it wasn’t dry, the shop did a good job with the braise.
Stay safe and well.

The Mouse cooked a third of the pork bones he picked up from the warehouse on Friday. Just parboiled, washed, clean pot, fresh water, apple cider vinegar, and vodka (less than a jigger each).
Usually, The Cat likes to “clean” the bones in the soup, this time the bones and residual meat were too gnarly (The Mouse’s opinion), The Mouse took out most of the bones and meat (he left a few rib pieces that weren’t “gnarly”.
For The Cat’s soup, The Mouse added dried bamboo, canned bamboo, carrot, celery, and sea salt.
The Cat liked and slurped.
Enjoy. Eat well.

Picked up at the grocery store.
Trimmings to make the pork ribs even. Butcher at the warehouse said these are “scrap”.
The Mouse parboiled, washed, then simmered for about 45 minutes with the remaining dried bamboo.
Added whiskey to finish. Soup will not gel, not much collagen, but The Cat said tasty.
Enjoy. Eat well.
