Winter melon barley pork ribs soup

How refreshing it is to have a bowl of winter melon, barley and pork ribs soup in the cold winter season. So here is a detailed introduction to the method and function of winter melon, barley and pork ribs soup:

Winter melon and pork ribs soup ingredients

Winter melon: 500g, spare ribs: 500g, raw coix seed: 60g, scallions: 3 sections (you can leave it out, I did it to get rid of the fishy smell of the spare ribs), star anise: 2 pieces (you can leave it out, I did it to get rid of the fishy smell of the spare ribs), water: 3-4 liters (this depends on personal preference, how thick or thin you like the soup), salt: 2.5tsp (this amount is not too salty, and it should be added when the soup is ready, which is healthy)

Winter melon and pork ribs soup recipe

1-Put the ribs in boiling water and blanch them to remove the blood (it is best to blanch them for a longer time, so that the fat can be boiled off, and also to prevent the blood from not being boiled clean and affecting the taste of the soup)

2- Wash the blanched ribs with warm water, put them into the hot water pot (do not put the ribs in cold water, otherwise the meat will become very tough), add coix seed, green onion, star anise

3- Turn on high heat to boil the soup pot, then turn down the heat and simmer for more than 2.5 hours, adding salt before serving (I simmered it for about 6 hours in the afternoon, and the ribs were basically crispy)

4- Cut the winter melon into large pieces and put it in according to the length of time you cook the soup. Otherwise, it will not look good if it is too mushy. The winter melon needs to be cooked for more than 1.5 hours, so just put it in during this time.

Efficacy and function:

1. Pay attention to dietary balance. Take more collagen and protein to provide necessary nutrients for the regeneration of tissue cells and replenish the energy necessary for the skin to maintain vitality. Such as meat, fish, eggs. Avoid blind dieting to lose weight, which will lead to malnutrition or sudden weight loss, which will greatly affect the elasticity of the skin.

2. Eat more foods rich in vitamins A and B, such as carrots, potatoes, soy products and animal liver, which are good for protecting the eyes. There are also foods that can nourish blood and promote blood circulation, such as apple, red dates and fresh fish soup, which is a classic therapeutic soup that is highly regarded for fighting dark circles and eye bags.

3. Maintain normal body metabolism and don’t ignore foods that help excrete excess water and eliminate edema, such as red beans, winter melon, and coix seed.
