BrothIn a heavy stock pot, put in bones and carcasses. Add water to cover the bones and bring to boil over high heat.Once boiling, leave it for another 5 mins. Drain and wash pot. Clean bones from all the blood and scums. This will cause the broth to turn brown instead of milky white. Return cleaned bones into pot with all broth ingredients to the pot. Add enough clean water to just cover ingredients. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, skim off scums that appears on top. This can take up to 30 mins. Lower heat to simmer for 4 hours minimum. For a better deeper flavor where time allows, let to go up to 12 hours. Keep a watch out on the water level. From time to time, add more water to the original level when you just started. Take out the pork fats slab carefully as it is super tender and breaks easily. Finely minced and set aside as broth topping. Sieve broth into another clean pot. Set aside. |

Let it cook for a bout an hour or till sauce left about half a cm in the pot. Don’t go away at this stage as sauce will burn easily. When the sauce is bubbly and thick, it is done. Set the meat aside to cool. Slice to 0.5 cm thickness before serving. Serve as it is or lightly torch it to give it a char. |
