Instructions

  1. In a large pot, combine beef shanks and enough cold water to cover. Bring to a boil.
  2. Drain beef and rinse under cold water to remove impurities. Discard the liquid and rinse the pot.
  3. In the pot, return meat and enough cold water to cover. Bring to a boil, skimming scum that accumulates on top.
  4. When the broth has cleared, add onions, fish sauce, and peppercorns.
  5. Lower heat, cover, and cook at a bare simmer for about 1 ½ to 2 hours or until meat is fork-tender but not falling apart.
  6. Add corn and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes or until corn is tender.
  7. Add the pechay and green onions and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
  8. Season with salt to taste. Serve hot with fish sauce and calamansi.

Notes

  • Start with cold water. The higher initial temperature of hot water draws more protein from the meat and bones, creating a cloudy broth. Hot water also has more dissolved minerals from the pipes, which can add an off taste to the soup.
  • Cook at a simmer.  Rapid boiling may cause agitation that can cloud the broth. Low and slow cooking allows flavors in the dish to develop and become concentrated.
