¿Qué es Pork Stock?
Pork stock is a rich, savory liquid made by simmering pork bones (and often meat and aromatics) in water over several hours. This process extracts collagen, minerals, and flavor compounds, creating a versatile base for soups, sauces, and braises. It provides a deeper, more robust flavor than many other meat stocks.
"The gelatinous quality of a well-made pork stock is crucial for adding body and mouthfeel to dishes, particularly in Asian cuisines."
