Prepare the ingredients
To eliminate the unpleasant smell of the pork bones, soak them in diluted salt water with a few slices of ginger for about 15 minutes, then rinse with clean water and let them drain.
How to clean pork bones without odor:
- Method 1: After cutting the pork bones, use vinegar and a bit of crushed ginger to rub over the bone pieces for about 5 minutes, then rinse with water.
- Method 2: Soak the pork bones in rice washing water for about 15 – 20 minutes, then rinse with water; this way, the bones will no longer have an odor.
Marinate the pork bones with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of seasoning powder. Let it sit for about 30 minutes to allow the bones to absorb the flavors.
Soak the dried seaweed in 1 liter of water for about 15 minutes until it expands, then rinse and drain. Clean the green onions and chop them finely.

Simmer the bones on low heat for about 20 minutes, until the soup is sweet, then add all the seaweed, increase the heat, and bring it to a boil.
