A Chinese herbal soup made with the quintessential
Chinese herbs - this is Bak Kut Teh. If you're familiar with the variety of
Chinese herbs, you can handpick them from Chinese grocers. Otherwise, they are
always willing to help you choose the best herbs for Bak Kut Teh.
For me, I prefer to simplify things by opting for a ready-made Bak Kut Teh packet, which typically comes with two sachets. When it comes to making a Vegetarian Bak Kut Teh (MALAY VEGETARIAN SPINACH COCONUT), the foundation remains the same: the herbs. However, to bring it to life, vegetable stock is essential; without it, the taste will fall flat.
