Making Broth as Clear as Water | Chef’s Plate: Killer Skills E1

Making crystal clear broth is the ultimate test of a Chinese chef’s skills. It’s a technique with Sichuan roots.

One of the most famous Chinese clear soup dishes is “boiled water cabbage.” It’s easy to dismiss what looks like a plain bowl of soup with a tiny piece of cabbage, until you know how many steps go towards making it.

This is the first episode of our Chef’s Plate: Killer Skills edition. In this series, you will see the skills Chinese chefs need to become masters of the kitchen.
