Popular pork based broth dish called “Bak Kut Teh” is widely available in Malaysia. At Penang, Perak Road, you will likely be getting your Bak Kut Teh in a clay pot and with the usual ingredients:

Pork ribs come first. Pork ribs, the main component of Bak Kut Teh, are cooked until they are soft and easily slide off the bone.

The soup broth, second. Various herbs and spices, such as garlic, star anise, cinnamon, and peppercorns, are used to make the soup broth. It has a flavorful aroma of herbs and spices and a rich, savory taste.

Finally, mushrooms. To provide a chewy texture and earthy flavor to the soup, dried shiitake mushrooms are frequently included.

The next item is tofu puffs, which are light tofu pieces that are deep-fried and lend a crunchy texture to the meal by soaking up the soup stock.

Last but not least, to provide some freshness and balance to your meal, veggies like bok choy or lettuce are frequently served.
