Spare ribs and winter melon soup

Overview

Winter melon is rich in protein, carbohydrates, vitamins and mineral elements and other high nutrients. The difference between winter melon and other fruits is that it does not contain fat and contains very low sodium. It has diuretic and moisture-removing effects. It is not difficult for you to lose weight quickly with the winter melon weight loss method! Winter melon is cold in nature, and its flesh and pulp have diuretic, heat-clearing, phlegm-resolving, and thirst-quenching effects. It can also treat edema, phlegm, asthma, summer heat, and hemorrhoids. If you boil winter melon with the skin on and drink it in soup, it can reduce swelling, diuresis, clear away heat and relieve summer heat.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Prepare the raw materials, wash the ribs, peel and cut the winter melon into cubes, prepare the ginger slices, cinnamon bark, and aniseed ingredients, mince the coriander, and cut the green onions into sections (there are no green onions at home, so I cut a few slices of green onions instead)

   

2. 2 Wash the ribs and boil them in cold water, skim off the foam, put a hot pot on another stove and bring to a boil

   

3. 3 Put the blanched ribs into a soup pot, add onion, ginger, aniseed, cinnamon and cook over high heat

   

4. 4 Cook for a few minutes and mix with cooking wine, light soy sauce, and five-spice powder (I temporarily added a few jujubes, wolfberries, and peanuts to make it more nutritious) and simmer over low heat for 1-2 hours

   

5. 5 Cook the spareribs, add the winter melon, add salt and chicken essence, bring to a boil over high heat, and eat when the winter melon is soft and tender
