Important Notes

⚠️

Blanching is crucial for a clean-tasting broth as it removes blood and impurities.

⚠️

Use low heat when caramelizing the sugar to prevent it from burning and becoming bitter.

⚠️

If using a pressure cooker, the cooking time can be significantly reduced to about 40-60 minutes.

⚠️

The braising liquid is very concentrated; always dilute it with plain stock or hot water when serving to balance the saltiness.

⚠️

Adjust the amount of dried chili to control the heat level to your preference.
