How to Make White Radish and Pork Rib Soup: A Complete Guide

White radish and pork rib soup is a nourishing and comforting dish, loved for its sweet flavor and health benefits. Here’s a simple yet delicious recipe to guide you.

Ingredients: 500g pork ribs, 1 large white radish (peeled and cut into chunks), 3-4 slices of ginger, 1 scallion (tied), a pinch of salt, and optional dried shrimp or goji berries for extra umami.

Steps:

1. Prep the ribs: Rinse ribs, blanch in boiling water for 3 minutes to remove impurities, then drain and set aside.

2. Cook the broth: Add ribs, ginger, and scallion to a pot with 1.5L of water. Bring to a boil, then simmer on low heat for 40 minutes until the ribs are tender.

3. Add radish: Toss in radish chunks and dried shrimp (if using). Simmer for another 20–25 minutes until the radish turns translucent and soft.

4. Season: Remove the scallion, add salt to taste, and stir in goji berries (if using) for the last 2 minutes.

Tips: For a richer broth, skim off foam during simmering. Let the soup rest for 10 minutes before serving to enhance the flavors. This soup warms the body aids digestion, and is perfect for cold days. Enjoy it hot as a standalone dish or with rice!
