What each ingredient does
- Meat
- Is the main ingredient that is cooked and becomes tender in the simmering water.
The step that matters
Skim the surface well. Foam and impurities rise to the surface as the meat heats. Removing them keeps the broth clear and the flavor clean, so the cook should skim thoroughly before reducing the heat.
