With winter approaching, I am craving comforting soup dishes to stay warm. Today I decide to share a traditional Chinese soup recipe – Pork Rib Soup with Daikon. Growing up, my mom always make this dish for me and my dad in the winter. This dish reminds me of my family in China, has great sentimental value to me.
To start, I immersed the pork ribs (I used baby back ribs) with COLD water in a pan. Then brought to boil over high heat. I wouldn’t worried about scooping off the foam and fat floating on the surface, because eventually, the water needs to be discarded after the pork ribs have changed color.
Next, I simply transferred the pork rib, daikon chunks and slices of ginger all into a dutch oven or ceramic pot with a couple cups of water added.
The rest is easy peasy. When the water starts to boil, simply turn to low heat to simmer for about half an hour. For seasoning, I used Chinese vinegar, salt and a touch of white pepper. This mild soup does not need heavy seasoning. You will be impressed by the natural flavor of the ingredients.
I often add some dried goji berries into the soup at the end. Goji berry is a kind of healthy food that’s very popular in China. They could be eaten directly as a snack, be added into soup or use as toppings for a traditional Chinese desert – glutinous rice dumpling in sweet rice wine.
I can’t think of a better soup for the cold winter days. And if you are wondering how to cook Daikon, I would definitely recommend giving this recipe a try.
Here is an overview of how I made this popular pork rib soup with daikon, enjoy the recipe below.
