As a person living in Guangdong, bitter gourd is a good thing here, and it is a weapon for intimacy and relieving summer heat. My family forced us to drink 2-3 times a week when we were young. At first they refused, but it became more and more delicious, and I liked it, too. This time, I'll introduce you to a cool soup. Bitter gourd is rarely used as soup, but in summer, our family often has soybean ribs and bitter melon soup, because bitter gourd has the effect of clearing heat and relieving summer heat.

This soup is very simple, as follows:

Materials required for bitter melon soup:

1, preparation materials: 2 pieces of bitter gourd, 50 grams of soybeans, 500 grams of ribs, mustard 1 root (only a small stem), and a little ginger. A little salt, 1 candied dates, oil.

2. Wash and cut bitter gourd into pieces, remove seeds, and then cut into blocks for later use. Wash soybeans for later use (soak soybeans in clear water for 4 minutes in advance), cut mustard stalks and ginger into sections, wash and cut into sections for later use.

3. Cut the ribs into pieces (the general merchant will help you cut them), put them in a pot and boil them in cold water, then remove them and wash them in cold water and drain them for later use (put 2 slices of ginger to remove fishy smell when blanching).

4. Put ginger slices and candied dates into the pot, pour water to boil, then put ribs and mustard stalks into the pot, put a few drops of oil, boil over high fire, and finally pour bitter gourd and soybeans into the pot. After the fire boils, turn the heat down for about 1.5 hours, add seasoning salt, and this delicious soybean sparerib bitter melon soup can be served.

Tips:

1, ribs must be added with 2 slices of ginger, so as to remove the fishy smell of ribs and make the soup fresher.

2. Add mustard stalks as long as the purpose is to keep the taste of the soup.

3, the purpose of soaking soybeans in advance is to taste more and cook more thoroughly. If you don't have time, you don't have to soak, but it will take a long time.

4, put a jujube to make the soup more moist!

5, soup can be fished out to make a dish, put soy sauce and oil on it, or add soy sauce to the ribs and stir fry, which tastes good!
