Why It Works

Pozole blanco (white hominy soup)

National Mexican tradition — Guerrero, Jalisco, and Mexico City are the three pozole capitals · Mexican — National — Soups & Stews

Pure pork and corn broth — clean, gelatinous, mild — the garnishes transform each bowl into a personalised flavour profile

Using lean pork only — thin, flavourless broth Under-cooking the hominy — raw hominy in pozole is unpleasant (hard, starchy, not expanded) Not providing a full garnish table — the garnishes are not optional in pozole service Serving at anything less than boiling — pozole must be piping hot when served

Peruvian chupe de camarones (garnish-at-table soup tradition)
Vietnamese pho (broth + garnish table)
Korean gom tang (bone broth + garnish)
