Chinese love to drink soup...so do I and my "boss", I remembered once we were in Europe for 20 days without the "chinese soup" and we missed it so much that we rush into a chinese restaurant as if we strike a lottery...
Therefore I always took the opportunity to tell my boss, you see how important I am in your life??? I can cook soup!!!! hahahah
Never did he know that, these kind of soup is really easy to do... as usual..dump everything in the pot and cook for 2 hours ....
Old cucumber soup is cooling in nature, so if you feel heaty, you may want to drink some to relieve some heatiness in your body...
Ingredients (Serves 3 – 4, easily)
- a small Chinese old cucumber (cut into big chunks after removing the seeds)
- about 200g pork ribs/big pork bones.
- 1.5 litres of water
- 6 red dates
- 6 dried scallops
- 1 carrot (cut into bite size)
- salt to taste
- Wash dried scallops & red dates
- Rinse pork ribs, scald in boiling water for 1-2 min. Remove and rinse in cold water.
- In a soup pot, put all the ingredients in. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer the soup over low heat for about 2 hours.
