Pork Rib Soup with Red Dates

Method

1. 1 Blanch the ribs for 3 minutes, then rinse off the foam to make the broth clear.
2. 2 Simmer the pork ribs with ginger, lotus seeds, and 1 liter of water for 45 minutes.
3. 3 Add red dates and carrots and cook for 20 minutes; simmering red dates longer will make the broth excessively sweet, like sugar water.
4. 4 Add the goji berries at the last 5 minutes to prevent them from becoming mushy and to make the soup sour.
5. 5 Season with salt and diluted fish sauce, then sprinkle with cilantro.
