radish soup

Soup before dinner is commong everywhere, the same here in Malaysia.
White radish soup is sweet and tasty, a truly healthy Malaysian dish. Chinese said it has cooling effects on the body too. This time, i would like to cook the soup over the stove instead of using a slow cooker.




Ingredients:

500gm-1kg of pork ribs
one white radish
kei chi (red color herb)



1. boil 2 liter of water in a stainles steel pot. i personally like to use corning ware to boil my soup. corningware is made of ceramic and the lid is made from clear glass. so it's easier for me to observe the soup if it boils over.

2. when the water boils, place the meat inside. wait for a few minutes before adding the radish. add a handful of kei chi.

3. boil the soup for at least two hour with small flame. add a pinch of salt and stir. ready to serve.

The soup can also be used for making steamboat. Just simply drain the radish and meat out, place the suop in a hotpot and cook seafood, meat and vegetables ala steamboat.
