Bak Kut Teh, meaning "meat bone tea," is a popular dish originating from Chinese cuisine, particularly in Malaysia and Singapore. Traditionally, this flavorful soup consists of pork ribs simmered in a herbal broth, which often includes garlic, star anise, cinnamon, fennel, and other spices. Variations may include tofu, mushrooms, and leafy greens, adding more depth and nutrients. Bak Kut Teh is rich in protein from the pork and contains beneficial compounds from the herbs and spices, which are traditionally thought to support digestion and enhance circulation. The dish is relatively low in carbohydrates, making it a suitable option for protein-focused diets. However, it can be high in sodium, depending on how the broth is prepared, and fattier cuts of pork might increase calorie and fat content. Balancing the dish with vegetables and opting for leaner meat can enhance its nutritional profile.
