Ingredients

  • 1 small dried octopus (jeung yu)
  • ½ pound pork bones
  • 6 to 10 inches</

Method

The octopus will measure 5 to 6 inches long and will be held, stretched open, by a small stick of wood. Remove the wood; rinse the octopus. Combine all ingredients in a large pot with about twice as much water. Bring to the boil and simmer 2 to 4 hours until broth is well-flavored and reduced by ⅓ to ½. Season with salt and serve.
