Hello, I was thinking about making this Thai noodle soup dish (Guaydtiaao Tom Yam Moo Saap) and it calls for making your own pork broth with pork backbone (Nam Cheua Gradook Moo).
If I wanted to do a quick version, are there any prepared products or broths that would be a suitable substitute? I couldn't really find anything on Amazon or Weee, although I did see pork boullion.
I may consider making the broth if it's recommended, as I do have access to the pork backbones from the Asian Market I use (Weee). Could be a nice little weekend project.
Really appreciate any advice or input. Thanks in adavnce for any help.

I haven’t found a commerical pork broth that’s a good substitute. I will say that I wouldn’t hesitate to skip steps and ingredients to end up with a good enough stock – I never bother with the 5 minute boil then rinse because I don’t care if my stock is crystal clear. And I’d toss in whatever aromatics I have handy if I didn’t have the full set. I normally make broth in my instant pot so it’s all unattended time
Could you use Pho broth or something similar instead? I’m actually not sure what type of bones it uses, but this may be fine just for the base? I have no idea and have never tried this, just throwing it out there. I hope you post an update with the completed dish, it looks great.
