    Blanching: Wash the pork leg bones and put them in a pot with cold water. Cook over medium-low heat slowly. It is crucial to start with cold water and use medium-low heat so that the blood and impurities in the bones can be slowly released. When the water boils, turn off the heat, remove the bones, and wash them clean. There is really a lot of impurities in the water after boiling, it’s very dirty, so no picture will be shown.
