Yam ribs soup is a medicated diet made of yam and ribs, which has the following functions: first, it has the function of tonifying kidney and nourishing blood; second, the calcium phosphate, collagen and bone mucin contained in ribs have the effect of supplementing calcium and can prevent osteoporosis in the elderly; Thirdly, the starch, fat and protein contained in yam are easily absorbed by human body, which can effectively improve physical weakness.

Raw materials: pig cartilage, yam, lotus seed, Euryale ferox seed, Poria, cooked coix seed rice, clear water and salt;

Recipe making process:

Step 1: Prepare pig cartilage and clean it. If there is fat or grease on it, try to remove it, so that the cooked soup will not be greasy; Pork cartilage is the side next to pork ribs. The bones are white, also called brittle bones. It is especially delicious when cooked. Every time I buy some of these ribs alone.

Step 2: take a pot, put clean water, put pig cartilage in it, and boil it with high fire; Boiling ribs in cold water can help the ribs boil bleeding foam and make the ribs cleaner;

Step 3: Boil the water quickly, and blood foam will appear on the surface, and skim it off with a spoon;

Step 4: fish out the pig cartilage with a colander;

Step 5: put a proper amount of water in the casserole, heat it, and put the blanched pig cartilage into the casserole; It should be noted here that the water must be hot;

Step 6: Put the lotus seeds, Euryale ferox, Poria cocos and cooked coix seed rice together in a casserole; Euryale ferox is the most difficult to cook. If you have time, you'd better soak it for more than 2 hours in advance. I want to cook it temporarily today, so I don't soak it, and the cooking time will be much longer.

Step 7: the ingredients are in the pot, cover the pot, boil over high fire, and simmer over low heat.

Step 8: It is best to use a casserole for stewing soup, which has good heat preservation. After covering the pot cover, it will be boiled on a big fire and simmered on a small fire for more than 2 hours, without consuming too much water.

Step 9: After cooking for 2 hours, the soup is thick and delicious, but it's not cooked yet. Keep reading.

Step 10: Peel the yam and cut it into small pieces; Yam is easy to turn black after being cut, so I soak it in water to keep it white.

Step 1 1: Take out the cut Chinese yam pieces and put them in a casserole, bring them to a boil with high fire, turn to low heat for 30 minutes, and add appropriate amount of salt to taste;

Step 12: After half an hour, open the lid, the soup is cooked and the color is whiter!

After the yam sparerib soup is cooked, put it in a bowl, cut some chopped chives and put them on it to add freshness, taste and color. If you don't like chives, it's not bad to switch to coriander. This delicious and nutritious sparerib soup is ready.
