Incredibly easy to prepare, it provides a comforting balance of meat, vegetables, and broth when served alongside steamed rice, making it the ultimate choice for an effortless lunch.
Ingredients
Pork ribs
600g
Lettuce
300g
Instructions
1
Step 1
Wash the spare ribs, add cold water, and heat until the water is about to boil. A lot of foam will appear; skim off the foam and remove the ribs.

Step 2
Rinse the blanched ribs with hot water to wash away any remaining impurities; this ensures the soup remains clear. Heat water in a pressure cooker, add the ribs, and directly add the ginger, chili, angelica, and cooking wine from the seasonings into the soup. Put the remaining seasonings into a spice box and add it to the soup. Once it reaches pressure, cook for 12 minutes. After releasing the pressure, add salt and simmer on low heat for 2 minutes to let the ribs absorb some saltiness.

Step 3
Wash the lettuce, drain the water, and place it in a clean basin. Make sure the basin is large enough to hold all the spare rib soup. Lettuce is used in this season, but spinach is also an excellent choice when it is in season. Ultimately, you can use any leafy greens that can be eaten after blanching and don't have an overpowering taste, according to your own preference.
