Winter Melon Ribs and Barley Soup
1.
After the barley is washed, add clean water and soak. A longer time will reduce the time to cook the soup later, which is more practical. I usually soak for 4 hours (half a day).
2.
Boil the pot and make water, almost no more than the amount of ribs. Put the ribs in after the water boils. When the pot is boiling and white momo comes out, turn off the heat and use a colander to cool the ribs and set aside.
3.
Prepare the ingredients when cooking the ribs: cut the green onion into sections, and have white and green onions. About 3-5 segments; sliced ginger, about 5 slices. Wash the corn and cut into small pieces, about 5 cm in size. Wash and cut the coriander, about 3cm wide.
4.
Serve the casserole, make water, and add barley, pork ribs, and winter melon to fill the pot. After the water is boiled, add barley, ribs, green onion and ginger, bring to a boil on high heat (about 10 minutes), turn to low heat and cook for one hour (turn the gas to the minimum flame)
5.
Wash the wax gourd and cut it in half first, then dig out the soil in the middle, and then cut it with the skin into a thickness of about 1 cm. After boiling the soup for an hour, add the winter melon slices.
6.
Turn to high heat and boil, then turn to low heat and continue for half an hour.
7.
After an hour and a half, turn off the fire. Sprinkle salt and a pinch of coriander in a bowl. Pour soup, winter melon, ribs, barley, and corn in a bowl. With a little stirring, let the salt and coriander fully blend with the ingredients.
8.
A bowl of rich and delicious winter melon ribs and barley soup is out!
Tips:
1. Barley is dirty and needs to be washed several times, and the longer the soaking time, the easier it will be cooked.
2. Winter melon skin is very nutritious, don't peel it and cook it. Besides, winter melon with skin is easy to shape, otherwise it will all be boiled.
3. Sprinkle salt at the end so that the soup can drink a few more meals. Be careful: soup with salt added overnight is poisonous! ! !
