Contrary to popular belief, bak kut teh doesnt necessarily have to be made with pork. Bak means meat, kut means bones, and teh means tea-so its safe to say that bak kut teh can comprise of any form of meat, bones and herbs. Since my family doesnt cook pork at home, ive made a version of the dish using chicken wings. Wings, in particular, contain a lot of collagen that perfectly contributes to the flavor and consistency of the soup. Together with an additional serving of yam rice, this chik kut teh is guaranteed to open up your mind (and palate) to new ways of enjoying this traditional dish.
