Second of three bags of pork bones. Same same, parboil, rinse, clean water, ginger, whiskey, vinegar, simmer for hours.
The Cat’s Bowl of Soup
The spicy bamboo shoot really gives the soup an added flavor. The Cat slurped.
Pulled out a couple of pieces of rib meat from the bag of bones. Steamed with vodka and shoyu.

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.
Tonkotsu Broth with Vegetables
The Cat liked and slurped.
Enjoy. Eat well.

This week’s soup bones.
Pork Bones
Not sure which bones these are, not leg bones, not ribs, possibly neck. Not too much marrow. Cooked a shorter time than the feet, took out the bones and shredded the meat.
Soup Meat
The Mouse not decided what to do with the meat yet.
Bitter Melon
Farmers market. May go into the shredded pork meat soup, maybe not. Dunno.
Potato and Butterfish
Leftover banchan from The Mouse’s lunch, small piece of miso butterfish from the grocery store. Super easy, toaster oven 10 to 12 minutes.
Enjoy. Eat well.

Picked up at the grocery store.
Pork Riblets
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.
Simple Soup
Added whiskey to finish. Soup will not gel, not much collagen, but The Cat said tasty.
Enjoy. Eat well.
