Home Cooked Bak Kut Teh (Pork Herbal Soup)

A friend told me about this "herbal tea" for boiling pork herbal soup (bak kut teh) which can be bought from the shop which I used to frequent. According to my friend, this herbal tea tastes better than those branded herbal tea. After hearing from my friend, I approached the counter and asked for bak kut teh or herbal tea.

The lady at the counter took a packet that was hanging over the counter and gave it to me. The herbal tea costs only RM10.

For 1 packet of herbal tea, I used 2 strips of pork belly and 1 pig's stomach to boil the soup. I also added some dried Shiitake mushrooms, some red dates, gojiberries and a few slices of "tong kwai" for extra flavour. I cooked enough for 2 meals and also to give to my friend and neighbour.

God always has shown us that these messages are true

by signs and wonders and various miracles and by giving

certain special abilities from the Holy Spirit to those who believe;

yes, God has assigned such gifts to each of us.
