On the stovetop, cover all the ingredients with water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce until it's lightly simmering. Cover with the lid of the stockpot and leave for 24-48 hours.In an Instant Pot, lock the lid and cook on high pressure for 40 minutes, then release the pressure manually.
Season with soy sauce to taste before serving!
Noodle Sopu
Cook your noodles in boiling water per the package instructions until tender or al dente.
1 lb. pasta
Once the noodles are ready, warm your bone broth, and pour 3 ladles of the broth into a bowl with your noodles.
Top with the thinly sliced scallion & ginger, and any other ingredients you choose.
2 tsp grated fresh ginger, 2 scallions, salt & pepper
Notes
Can add any veggies (parsnips, celery, and turnips usually end up in my bone broth) and woody herbs you like...rosemary and thyme are a favorite. Other optional toppings: seaweed, furikake, soy sauce, chili oil, soft boiled egg.
