How to Make Delicious Kelp and Pork Rib Soup

Kelp and pork rib soup is a nutritious and comforting dish, loved for its umami-rich broth and tender ingredients. Here’s a simple guide to making it at home.

Ingredients: 500g pork ribs, 100g dried kelp (soaked and sliced), 1 ginger slice, 2 scallions, 1 carrot (optional), salt, and pepper to taste.

Steps:

1. Prepare the ribs: Rinse ribs, blanch in boiling water for 3 minutes to remove impurities, then drain.

2. Soak kelp: Soak dried kelp in cold water for 20 minutes until soft, then cut into strips.

3. Cook the soup: Add ribs, ginger, and scallions to a pot with 1.5L water. Bring to a boil, then simmer on low heat for 40 minutes.

4. Add kelp and veggies: Toss in kelp and carrot (if using), simmer for another 15-20 minutes until ribs are tender.

5. Season: Add salt and pepper, adjust to taste. Garnish with chopped scallions before serving.

Tips: For a richer flavor, add a spoonful of rice wine while simmering. Avoid overcooking kelp to keep it slightly chewy. This soup is packed with calcium and iodine, perfect for a healthy meal. Enjoy!
