Pork Rib and Bitter Gourd Soup
Hello everybody
Recently the weather has become hot
Today I am going to share a soup help to clear heat and detoxify
Pork rib and bitter melon soup
One bitter melon weighs 300 grams
Pork ribs 500 grams
A piece of ginger
Somebody would like to add in soybeans as another ingredient
Wash, cut open and clear the seeds from the bitter gourd
Blanch the bitter gourd to reduce the bitter taste
Or marinate with salt for 5 minutes as an alternative
If you don't mind the bitter taste
No need blanch or marinate
Pork ribs also to blanch
I use the same pot of boiling water
Add in spring onion
ginger
And 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
Blanch for 3 to 5 minutes
Scoop out and wash the pork ribs after blanching
Add in a piece of ginger
If you use soybeans as an ingredient
Pork ribs and soybeans add in same time
Add in the bitter gourd at the same time if you prefer very soft
I do not like it very soft
So I will put the bitter melon at the last five minutes
Simmer at low heat for 45 minutes
Prepare a dipping sauce for the pork ribs
Minced garlic
Cut chili peppers
Chili pepper is an option
A bit of fried sesame
Pour in hot cooking oil
Sugar 1 teaspoon
Dark soy sauce 1/2 tablespoon
Light soy sauce 2 tablespoons
It has simmered for 45 minutes
Add in bitter gourd
Simmer for 5 more minutes
Turn to medium heat after adding in bitter melon
Or at high-to-medium heat for 5 minutes
Add in moderate amount of salt
This soup is wonderful to mix with cooked rice at the summer
