- 'Bak Kut Teh' is an amazing broth based dish using pork and multiple Chinese herbs. When translated, it brings the meaning of pork bone tea. This recipe is the Hokkien version of Bak Kut Teh which is popular in Klang, Malaysia.
www.nyonyacook...
Bak kut teh means ‘meat bone tea’ in the Chinese Hokkien dialect. To be exact, the term ‘bak’ refers to pork. That is the meat which is originally used in the broth. These days, chicken is also used instead of pork. The dish is made by boiling pork bones and meat in a variety of aromatics and Chinese herbs. The combination of Chinese herbs and aromatics such as star anise, cloves and smoked garlic makes this dish special. Usually, bak kut teh is served with rice, vegetables and you tiao (sometimes known as Chinese churros). Mostly found in Malaysia and Singapore, bak kut teh is now one of the dishes that is well known in the region.
Differences between Malaysian and Singaporean bak kut teh
There are differences between the Hokkien version of bak kut teh which is commonly found in Malaysia when compared to the Teochew version in terms of colour, level of saltiness and of course the taste.
| Type | Colour | Saltiness | Taste|
| -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- |
| Hokkien (Malaysia) | Dark | Much saltier | Herby|
| Teowchew (Singapore) | Light | Less saltier |Peppery|
Where to buy Bak kut teh herbs
If you want to make bak kut teh from scratch instead of using pre-packed bak kut teh herbs, this is all the information you will need. Bak kut teh herbs are simply Chinese medicinal herbs which are to be found in most Chinese medicinal halls or Asian grocers around the world. In almost all Asian grocers, you will be able to find almost all the herbs sold in a pack of 10 herbs and usually marketed as ‘Chinese Herbal Soup Mix’, ‘Chinese Tonic Soup’ .
Basic set of herbs for bak kut teh
In the table below, you will find the names of the ingredients you will need in English and both Chinese characters and pinyin. For a decent pot of bak kut teh, you will need at least 6 types of herbs.
| Herbs Name | Pinyin | Chinese characters|
| -------- | -------- | -------- |
| Foxglove root | Shu di huang | 熟地黄 |
| Chinese angelica root | Dang gui | 當歸 |
| Szechuan lovage | Chuang gong |川芎 |
| Solomon's Seal | Yu zhu | 玉竹 |
| Red dates | Hong zao |红枣 |
| Goji berries | Gou qi zi|枸杞子|
Other additional ingredients which are used in the recipe are the other common herbs used in bak kut teh which will add more flavour and also medicinal benefits to it.
| Herbs Name | Pinyin | Chinese characters|
| -------- | -------- | -------- |
| Dried orange peel| Chen pi | 陈皮 |
| Liquorice root | Gan cao | 甘草 |
| Codonopsis pilosula | Dang shen |黨參 |
| Black dates | Nan zao|正南枣 |
Besides Chinese herbs, aromatics are highly important to release the aroma and flavours commonly known in bak kut teh.
Duration to boil bak kut teh
In this recipe, it is recommended to boil bak kut teh for four hours. Ff you do not have much time, two hours would be sufficient. Although, the broth will taste much better when boiled for at least four hours.
Overnight bak kut teh
Bak kut teh tastes better after boiling for 4 hours and allowing to rest overnight. This was a secret tip shared by one of the best restaurants in Klang when asked about their secret to their popular bak kut teh. There is a big difference after allowing the broth to settle and allow the ingredients to release its flavours.
Separate broth with other ingredients
Usually, bak kut teh is served with vegetables (romaine lettuce, iceberg lettuce, bok choy) tofu puffs, fried bean curd skin and mushrooms (enoki, shiitake). These ingredients should be added shortly before serving. Also, if the plan is to finish the dish in several meals, these additional ingredients should be cooked with a portion of the broth to not affect the taste of rest of it.

saya sangat sukakan makan "Bak Kut Teh"....
Hi there, I made the bakuteh and tastes so RICH! Thank you for the recipe and tips. One thing I noted though was it had quite bitter flavour to it, I'm guessing it's because of the herbs? Is there a way to reduce the bitterness or perhaps mask it? Thanks!
i read somewhere they said add a spoonful of vinegar.
Thanks for sharing 🎉
Thank you😊 And thanks for putting the some ingeridiants. I wish you could put the rest herbs and flavors as well!

Works very well with chicken. Check out the cook’s notes here: www.nyonyacooking.com/recipes/bak-kut-teh-ultimate-guide~rkJWp0EUQ - Admin
Hi , if i were to leave it overnight, do i need to cool it down then refrigerate them or just leave them at room temperature overnight?
Opps..sorry for not adding the information on the website. So, it's best to let it cool to room temperature and then refrigerate. Cooked food should not be left out for too long. :) Just updated the site with all the details on refrigerating. www.nyonyacooking.com/recipes/bak-kut-teh~rkJWp0EUQ
Do you have recipe for braised fish maw with mushroom? Or braised abalone with mushroom?
As a Malaysian in Germany , I missed it and of course if you can add some 油炸鬼 will be perfect
Certainly! I hope you'll give this a try. I bought all the ingredients in Germany ;)
Any chance I could get an explanation why the meat isn't seared in this process? Since searing would add deeper flavour to the soup through deglazing and better color on the pork
Bak kut teh is a broth based dish which focuses on the Chinese herbs. Also, when making Chinese soups, the meat isn't normally seared but simply simmered for many hours. That gives the deep flavours which are well known in Chinese soups. Hope that explains :)
@@nyonyacooking thanks for the explanation! Absolutely appreciate it
If use chicken boil for long?
I miss bah kuh teh
Now you can make it too!
Yummyyyyyyyy 😍😍😍
Hi Grace, would be great if you could give the quantity of pork and herbs used.
Hey, the full recipe is listed here: www.nyonyacooking.com/recipes/bak-kut-teh~rkJWp0EUQ
Hi dear, love your channel💕 is there any difference cooking BKT in cast iron or pressure cooker? If pressure cooker it will be done in 20mins instead of 4 hours and also using gas the soup alwiz recede!
Thanks for the support :D Yes there is. Personally, I find stews work best in a cast iron dutch oven compared to pressure cooker. Pressure cooker is great if you don't have much time. However, the distribution of heat in a cast iron dutch oven is way better and that helps with the flavour immensely. Also the broth doesn't really reduce so much when cooked in a cast iron dutch oven especially if it is of good quality with a heavy lid. That locks and stores all the goodness within the pot. I've written about it in the tips to get tender meat. Maybe you can check it out ;) www.nyonyacooking.com/recipes/bak-kut-teh
Nyonya Cooking Thanks so much for your tips! I have the same staub cast iron 24cm that you’re using in this video. Will try out soon and chicken rice too😉
Your cooking is so inspiring pls keep it up🙌🙌🙌💕👩🍳
Please do and send us a photo. The pot works brilliantly with this recipe. Try it out and send us a food snap!

Hi interested to open a restaurant in Australia
Hi I interested to work with you to start up a bu ku tea restaurant
👍
As a Chinese, I can't name any of those Chinese herbs in Chinese. 甘草的发音，好标准普通话👍
Lol, as a non Chinese speaker (and reader), I am flattered :D It took a lotttt of work to research and recognize the characters printed on the packaging of these ingredients.
Nyonya Cooking thankyou so much for showing us how its made. it's midnight in China and I can't sleep after seeing this video, so delicious! must try it myself tomorrow.
Please do! I have the list of ingredients on the website which you can refer to ;)
Ay Wut Laana Plees
Can we use chicken or meat?
Of course! As written on the full recipe, I noted that chicken can be used ;) www.nyonyacooking.com/recipes/bak-kut-teh
i can resist everything except that simmering pot.
Tough uh!
can pregnant women eat this? I wanna make it for a family member
While many claimed to have eaten bak kut teh without any issues, I would suggest to avoid it as the herbs are said to be "heaty" for the body. You can always check with the Chinese medicinal hall for more information.
So if you cooked this in France, will you call it baguette? xD
Hahaha! It took me a minute to understand :P Good one good one...So gonna post the joke in instagram
Unbelievable using kitchen towel as bak kut teh pocket
Dear Jenny, we use food grade paper towels. God bless.
