Prepare and marinate the bones
To remove the unpleasant smell of pork bones, after buying them, rinse them briefly and then soak the pork bones in diluted salt water for 15 minutes. After that, take the pork bones out, rinse them again with clean water, and let them drain.
Marinate the bones with minced shallots, 1 spoon of salt, 1/2 spoon of monosodium glutamate, and 1 spoon of seasoning powder. Let it sit for about 30 minutes for the bones to absorb the spices.
How to clean pork bones without odor:
- Method 1: After cutting the pork bones, use vinegar along with a bit of crushed ginger to rub on 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 smell.

After 15 minutes, add chrysanthemum greens along with 1 tablespoon of seasoning and 1 teaspoon of salt to the pot.
Wait for the water to boil again, then season to taste and turn off the heat. Ladle the soup into a bowl, sprinkle with a bit of ground pepper for aroma, and it’s ready to enjoy.
