1. 1

   1. Making the Broth Base

   Place bite-sized pork pieces and 540ml of water into a pot [01:51].

3. 3

   Add 1 tablespoon of salted shrimp to the pot and bring it to a boil [02:48]. Boiling the meat with salted shrimp first helps extract the pork fat and creates a deep flavor base [03:00].
