Simmer the soup

Fill a clay pot with an appropriate amount of water and place it over high heat. Add the garlic and fox nuts. Once the water comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 2 hours. Then add the lean pork, tofu, and hairy gourd, and continue to simmer for another 1 hour. Finally, season with fine salt to taste and serve.
