This is particularly applicable to pork bones (rather than pork shank). It's actually something that I learned from my mom and mother-in-law. However for me, I find that the marinating gives the meat flavor and after you blanch it, most of the salt goes away and you don't have to use salt to further flavor your soup. Hope this helps!

I have a quick question. Why do you marinate the pork with salt for an hour before blanching? What does salt do to the pork? Thanks! Lisa Hi,

I love your website and the photos of the yummy soups. I have a quick question. Why do you marinate the pork with salt for an hour before blanching? What does salt do to the pork?

Thanks!
