Winter Melon, Barley and Pork Ribs Soup
Overview
It rains a lot in summer and is muggy. I also love coolness, blowing on the air conditioner, eating cold drinks, etc. Over time, moisture easily accumulates in the body. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that excessive moisture in the body not only affects health and poor mental state, but can also easily lead to edema and obesity. Therefore, removing dampness is very important. The following is how to make winter melon, barley and pork ribs soup. Not only does this soup have a pleasant fragrance, it can also remove moisture, reduce fat, and facilitate urination. It is a very healthy soup. Barley is listed as top grade in "Shen Nong's Materia Medica". Eating it can cure dampness, benefit the intestines and stomach, eliminate edema, strengthen the spleen and stomach, and take it for a long time to lighten the body and replenish qi. Winter melon is sweet in taste and cold in nature. It has the effects of reducing heat, diuresis and swelling. The two are combined with the pork ribs to make the soup clear and delicious, which is perfect for drinking in summer~

Steps

Prepare ingredients.
-
After cleaning the ribs, add cold water to the pot, then add a few slices of ginger and 1 spoon of cooking wine, bring to a boil over high heat, remove the ribs and set aside.
-
Clean the winter melon, remove the flesh, then cut into pieces and set aside. (Leave the winter melon peel on to have a stronger effect of clearing away heat and diluting water, and will not boil the winter melon into pieces.)
-
Wash the barley, then put it into the rice cooker together with the winter melon pieces and ribs, then pour in 1500 ml of water, cover the pot and simmer for 1 hour. Next, add 2 tablespoons of salt and simmer for another 10 minutes. (Using a rice cooker to stew saves time and effort, which is very suitable for summer.)
