beef shank

🥗Healthier: chicken thighs

💰Cheaper: pork shank

Chicken thighs provide a leaner option while pork shank is often less expensive.

bone marrow

🥗Healthier: mushrooms

💰Cheaper: beef bones

Mushrooms add umami without the fat, while beef bones are more affordable.

Start by boiling beef shank and bone marrow in a large pot of water.

Simmer until the beef is tender, which takes about 2-3 hours.

Skim off any foam that rises to the surface during simmering.

Add onion, garlic, and peppercorns to the pot and continue to simmer for 30 minutes.

Incorporate a mixture of garlic and chili sauce with vinegar and soy sauce instead of fish sauce.

Add potatoes and corn, cooking until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Stir in cabbage and cook until wilted, about 5 minutes.

Serve the soup with rice, and enjoy it with a side of chili and calamansi.
