Bak Kut Teh is a Chinese pork rib dish cooked in broth that can be enjoyed at any time of the day. In Melaka, it's even served for breakfast!

However, despite the fact that the dish also has a chicken version called Chi Kut Teh, it is not Halal for our Muslim friends.

@soyabelacan Replying to @yuriz2010 Resipi Halal Bak Kut Teh ni sudah famous di kalangan kawan mualaf Aisha. Satu hari satu sis mualaf buat open house ada halal bak kut teh, kawan Chinese Muslim pergi terkejut rasa bak kut teh ni boleh rasa sama mcm guna Sbb serious, lepas jadi Muslim, byk kedai yg kata halal pun xde rasa yg dulu. Tapi dia kata dia guna resipi mcm ni je. So Aisha pun belajar dan try. Mmg sesedap mcm dulu! Thank You Nur Aisha Lee bagi resipi. @tplfreshmeatsmy #TPLFreshmeats #freshmeats #TPLBangsar #chinesehalalfood #chinesefood #chineserecipe #chineserecipes #chinesemuslimfood #chinesemuslim #makanan #resipitiktok #resipi #kambing #cny #cny2023 #mutton #muttonlovers #bakkutteh #bakkuttehhalal #halalbakuteh #halalbakkutteh カタコト - sloppy dim

But that has changed thanks to TikToker Soya Belacan's recipe! Aisha, one of the content creators, is Chinese-Muslim, thus it comes from a reliable source.

So to make this version of Bak Kut Teh, here's what you need to do:

1. You need mutton (make sure it has some bones).

2. Blanch the meat in hot water.

3. Bring a pot of water to a boil then insert the MasFood Bak Kut Teh spice bag along with some garlic.

4. Next, include the meat in.

5. Season the broth lightly while cooking the mutton with 3 tablespoons each of sweet and salty soy sauce and oyster sauce so it will penetrate the meat.

6. Let the broth boil for 2 hours until the flavor of the herbs and spices is fully extracted. You may want to boil it longer if you like a more concentrated soup or vice versa.

7. 10 minutes before it's done, add in the tofu puffs, bean curd skins, enoki mushrooms, or anything else that you prefer. Perhaps some lettuce would do the trick too.

8. It's done! Serve the Bak Kut Teh with steamed rice.

Sounds simple, isn't it? Would you try?
