The secret ingredient for a flavourful Salted Vege Soup is a nice Roasted Pork Knuckle or Roasted Pork Bone. You can get the roasted pork bone from your trusted butcher. If you can't find roasted ones, you can get the raw and bake it in advance. Just rub some five-spice powder, salt, white pepper and oil onto the pork bone and bake/ roast till golden.
Or if you have leftover of your roasted pork knuckle, you can keep it in the freezer to be used later. Both roasted pork bone and roasted pork knuckle can be kept in freezer upto 6 months.
Salted Vege Soup with Tofu
Salted Vegetable or better known as Pickled Mustard is a common ingredient you can find in supermarket. Usually it comes in a vacuum-packed packet and cost around few ringgits per packet.
A good salted vege will have a firm and solid body. Beside that it need to be salty enough, it also need to have a nice fragrant of the salted vege. How to know if the salted vege is good or not? Well, honestly, I don't know. Most of the time, the salted vege looks the same in their nicely packed package. You will need to experiment with few different brands. (The brand that I am using is this.)
Or you can opt to buy from wet market which usually have the best salted vege. If you are buying from wet market, you will need to soak the salted vege first as they have been pickled in a large amount of salt, right till the moment you purchase it.
