Prepare the Bones: Rinse the chicken or pork bones under cool running water and place them into a large, heavy-bottomed pot.

Combine Ingredients: Add approximately twelve cups of water, garlic, cilantro roots or stems, white pepper, soy sauce, and fish sauce into the pot. Stir gently.

Start the Simmer: Heat on medium until it simmers gently for about 15 minutes without boiling.

Skim the Surface: Remove impurities that rise to the top in the first 30 minutes of simmering.

Simmer for Flavors: Continue to simmer the broth for two hours, stirring occasionally and tasting toward the end.

Cool and Strain: Remove from heat, cool slightly, and strain into a heatproof bowl.

Store Properly: Cool completely, then store in sealed containers in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for future use.
