Spare ribs, durian shell and core soup

Overview

Using durian shells to make soup is a special soup even among Cantonese people who drink hundreds of soups. Durian meat is hot in nature, but durian shell is a good thing to reduce fire. Simply decoct it in light salt water and take it, which can reduce fire and relieve stagnation. It just offsets the heat of eating durian meat, so you don’t have to worry about getting angry after eating too much. Take out the white flesh from the durian shell alone and stew pork bones or corn, or all three together. It is definitely a rare and healthy soup. The soup is milky white and has a light durian flavor. People who don’t like durian may also accept it! The nutritional value and medicinal value of its core are even more remarkable. The seeds of durian are rich in protein. They can be eaten after frying or boiling and shelled. The taste is similar to chestnuts. Eating it can increase physical strength.
