  • Photograph of Dried jujube Dried jujube 24
  • Photograph of Goji berries Goji berries 1.1 oz
  • Photograph of Carrot Carrot 2

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.

With an appliance

  • Pressure cooker 45 min

    Replace step 2: simmer the ribs with lotus seeds in a pressure cooker for 20 minutes at high pressure, then release the pressure naturally. After that, cook the red dates and carrots with the lid open for 12 minutes.
