Simply put, bah kut teh means juicy pork ribs simmered in a herbal broth. Yes, it may sound simple, but the process of preparing bah kut teh is very complicated. The broth has to contain many ingredients such as cinnamon, cloves, dang gui, garlic, and fennel and the simmering has to happen for long hours. Some street food stalls are specialized for bah kut teh from the early 1900s.
