1lbpork ribsseparate into individual ribs, trim off excess fat
1bunch of tang oh vegetableoptional
Chinese herbs (rinse all the herbs with water before using):
1Korean ginseng
5dang shen roots/ Codonopsis Pilosula
3piecesof Astragali radix
Small handful of solomon's sealyu zu
4dioscorea oppositaChinese yam
ΒΌcupof goji berries
Instructions
Place the pork ribs in a large pot. Add in water and bring to a boil and let it cook for about 5 minutes. Discard the cooking water and rinse the pork ribs to get rid of the scums. Clean the pot well too. Place the pork ribs back into the pot. Add 6 cups of water or until it covers the ribs
Place the ginseng and the rest of the dried Chinese herbs (except for goji berries) inside the pot and let the water comes to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover the lid, and let it gently simmer for the next 1 hour or until the ribs are tender and about to fall off the bone. 10 minutes before end of cooking time, add in the goji berries
If you are using tang oh, you can briefly blanch them in a boiling water. Or I usually just place them on the bottom of the serving bowl and laddle the hot soup over and let it sit for about 10 minutes or so and it will soften the veggie. Laddle the ribs into serving bowl and generously followed by the soup and the Chinese herbs (if you want to eat them). I do :)
