Ingredients

Method:

Hello, I am Qi Ge, the creator of Food. I am very happy to share this question with you.

First of all, we need to prepare the following simple ingredients: buy about 1 catty of fresh ribs, (a small amount depends on the number of people) a piece of winter melon, a piece of ginger, an appropriate amount of salt, and a small handful of wolfberry.

The second step is to chop the fresh ribs we bought into medium-sized pieces. Then wash it several times with clean water and be sure to wash it thoroughly. Then put it in a slightly larger basin, add an appropriate amount of water to cover the ribs, and soak it for about 1 hour.

In the third step, when soaking the ribs, we need to constantly replace the soaked blood water to keep the water clean. After the ribs are soaked, take them out and set aside. We then add water to the pot and put the removed ribs into the pot. We must remember that the ribs are under cold water. Blanch the ribs and let the water boil, then skim off any scum floating on the surface. Then continue cooking for about two minutes. You can turn off the heat and take out the ribs. Then use clean water to clean the foam on the surface of the ribs, drain the water and set aside.

Step 4: Wash the ginger and cut it into slices. Also clean the wolfberries and set aside. We take a stew pot, put the sliced ??ginger and spare ribs into it, add an appropriate amount of water, and simmer over medium heat for about an hour. While the ribs are stewing, we can clean the winter melon, peel it and cut it into small pieces.

Step 5: When the winter melon is almost simmered, add the winter melon pieces and the prepared wolfberry. Just continue to simmer for about 20 minutes. By the way, about 10 minutes after adding the winter melon, add salt to taste according to your personal taste.

Finally, turn off the heat and take out the pot, and you are ready to enjoy
