Water Cress Pork Rib Soup (西洋菜排骨汤)

This is another those traditional Chinese soup which you can find selling in food court and it is not difficult to cook too.

Ingredients :-
西洋菜,排骨,红枣
Water Cress, Pork Rib and Red Dates are the ingredients.  Water Cress vegetable is quite common to find in supermarket but have to note nobody try to stir fry water cress as far I as known of.  Most people buy Water Cress is to boil soup.  Red Dates is to add some sweetness to the soup that all.  If you don't want, it is ok.


Cooking Instruction :-
1. Wash the Water Cress, Pork Ribs and Red Dates.

2. Boil a medium size pot with 85% of water at least.

3. When the water boils, put in the Pork Ribs, the Pork Ribs should get cook instantly.

4. Put in the branch of Water Cress and finally put in the Red Dates.

5. Cover up the pot, switch to SLOW FIRE and let the soup boil for at least 4 hours.

6. After 4 hours, you can see the color of the Water Cress turns from green to dark green in colour and the water level probably reduces to around 75%.  That will do and can get serve already.


While nobody stir fry Water Cress to eat but the boiled Water Cress taste not bad.  What you can do is pour a small dish of Soy Sauce and then dip the Water Cress and Pork Ribs in it and eat.  It is tasty !!!
