From now on, I will drink it in dog days to help remove the moisture in my body, so that you can spend this bitter summer more refreshing. It is better to make soup and fully absorb the value of the ingredients. The method of this soup is very simple. If you master the tips, you can easily get it. It is a pity to miss this simple soup with rich value.
Cooking tips:
1. Soak soybeans in clear water for one night in advance, so that they can absorb enough water, and it is easier to cook them. Remember to dig up the white pulp in the cold melon, otherwise it will be bitter to eat, and the effect will be better if the cold melon is cut into slightly larger pieces;
2. Remember to put the pork ribs in the pot with cold water when blanching. As the temperature rises slowly, the blood in the pork ribs will be fully stimulated, so that the pork ribs will not have a fishy smell, and they will be more clean and hygienic to eat. Remember to rinse the boiled pork ribs with warm water, and don't touch the cold water directly, otherwise the meat will be easy to burn.
3. Stew the soup. After the fire boils, turn to low fire and continue to cook slowly. Make sure to add enough water in the stew at one time, and try not to add water in the middle, otherwise the overall effect will be affected. Of course, if you really want to add water, you must also add boiled water instead of cold water.
