肉骨茶（Malaysian Bak Kut Teh and Stirfry BokChoy)

Bak Kut Teh tops my favourite soup list. Cooking it is easy using the prepackaged herbs and spices. All you need are packaged herbs, dry mushroom, meat (I used pork ribs here), 2 bulbs of garlic. It will take at least 2 hours on low to medium heat. This soup takes getting used to, as it has a very medicinal smell and taste to it.
