PREPARATION

- Rinse And Preparation: Wash mushrooms and thinly slice. Chop coriander and spring onion. Grate ginger and mince garlic so the broth cooks evenly.

TIPS
Here are some helpful tips for Ginger Collagen Broth:
- Use Gentle Heat: A low simmer preserves collagen structure and keeps Ginger Collagen Broth clear rather than cloudy.
- Slice Evenly: Uniform mushroom slices cook at the same rate, preventing soggy or undercooked pieces.
- Layer Acidity Wisely: Vinegar then lemon gives brightness without harshness; add near the end for best flavour.
- Season Last: Salt after simmering accounts for reduction and taste before adding more to avoid oversalting.
- Garnish For Aroma: Fresh coriander and spring onion release volatile oils when stirred off-heat.
VARIATIONS
- Vegan Alternative: Swap beef bone broth for mushroom or vegetable broth, so expect lower protein and a lighter body.
- Protein Boost: Add 60 to 90 grams of shredded chicken or a poached egg. This increases protein and satiety.
- Spiced Warmth: Simmer with a slice of fresh turmeric, a cinnamon stick or star anise for deeper aromatics.
- Green Upgrade: Stir in 30 to 50 grams of baby spinach or bok choy for extra fibre and micronutrients.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Refrigeration: Cool completely and store in an airtight glass container for up to 3 days. Keep garnishes separate for the best texture.
- Freezing: Portion into labelled containers and freeze for up to 2 months. Leave headspace for expansion.
- Reheating: Thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Warm on low heat until steaming, so avoid boiling once herbs are added. This broth is refreshed with a squeeze of lemon.
