Preparation

  1. Add the pork neck bones to a large bowl and cover with cold water. Soak for 2 hours.
  2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
  3. Drain and rinse the pork bones, then blanch in the boiling water for about 7 minutes to remove any impurities. Drain and rinse the blanched pork bones until the water runs clear.
  4. Return the pork bones to the pot and cover with clean water. Add the onion, green onions, garlic, and ginger. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat for 90 minutes.
  5. While the broth is simmering, make the seasoning paste: Add the Korean chile flakes, soybean paste, Korean hot pepper paste, rice wine, fish sauce, perilla seed powder, garlic, black pepper, and ¼ cup of the pork broth and mix until well combined.
  6. Once the broth has simmered for 90 minutes, uncover the pot and add the seasoning paste and stir to incorporate. Add the potatoes and cook for 10 minutes, until tender.
  7. Add the Napa cabbage leaves, bean sprouts, crown daisy leaves, and perilla leaves. Boil for another 5 minutes, until the leaves are wilted.
  8. Serve the soup hot with steamed rice, if desired.
  9. Enjoy!
