Chinese Bone Broth

In Chinese medicine, bone broth is used to nourish the bones, cartilage, and connective tissues.  In Chinese cuisine, bone broth is used as a high quality soup base impairing a rich flavor to dishes.

  • 4-5 pounds of beef marrow bones
  • 1/3 cup red wine vinegar or Chinese black vinegar
  • 2 cups of Chinese cooking sherry
  • 1/2 lb of Fresh ginger
  • 6 scallions
  • 1 2-3 inch piece of Chinese cinnamon bark
  • 8 pieces of star anise
  • 1 tablespoon of Sichuan peppercorns

Place all ingredients in a stockpot and submerge with water.  Bring to a boil and skim off the foam.   Add water if needed and cover and simmer for 2-12 hours.  When you can pierce bone with a fork, your broth is done.  Alternatively, you may boil for 1 hour covered, then drain out broth, and add more water and boil for another 2 hours covered.

You can find beef marrow bones at your nearest farmers market as well as Whole Foods.  If you are purchasing from a Farmers Market, email them a week in advance to save you some fresh  marrow bones.
