Instructions
1: Parboil your pork neck with enough water to cover them and 1/2 tbsp salt. Once boiling, dump water and clean the bones. Clean the pot and add back the cleaned neck bones. 2: To the pot with cleaned neck bones and 1/2 tbsp salt, add 6 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then lower to simmer for 3 hours so the bones are tender. 3: While waiting, cut and clean the Wintermelon. Remove the dark outer shell, remove the seeds, and cut into 1" cubes. Set aside. 4: After 3 hours of cooking, add the Wintermelon to the stock and allow to cook for 15 minutes. 5: Season the broth with chicken powder, sugar, and MSG. Taste and adjust to your liking, garnish with sliced green onions. 6: Serve with rice and pickled/fermented side dishes.View original recipe
