How to Cook Chinese Watercress Soup with Pork Ribs

 

Ingredients

• 1 bunch of watercress - ends trimmed and washed 
  
  
  
• 300 grams pork ribs 

  

  
  
• 6 to 8 dried red dates
• 1 carrot - peeled and cut into large chunks 

  

  
  
• 3 tablespoons goji berries
• 2 honey dates
• 6 cups of water
• salt to taste

Instructions

1. Blanch the pork ribs in a pot of boiling water for 5 minutes to remove the surface scum. It will give a much clearer soup to drink. Remove, rinse them and set it aside. 
   
   
   
2. Transfer all the ingredients into a soup pot and bring it to a boil. Once it is boiling, reduce it to the lowest heat and allow it to simmer for about 1 1/2 to 2hours. Or untill the pork ribs are soft. 

   

   

   
   
3. Season it with salt to taste. 

   

   
   
4. Serve it immediately.
