  Effective way to eliminate the smell of pork bones

  • Besides blanching the bones in boiling water to remove the smell as TasteVN has instructed, you can use lemon, vinegar with salt, or ginger to rub on the bones and let it sit for 5 – 10 minutes, then rinse with water.
  • Alternatively, you can also add a little white alcohol to the water when blanching the bones, as alcohol can effectively eliminate odors.
