Winter Melon & Barley Pork Ribs Soup 冬瓜薏米排骨汤 - 清热解毒，利水消炎、降脂降压，清肠胃

A nourishing soup that not only warms your soul but also offers remarkable health benefits. This heartwarming soup is known for its ability to clear away body heat and detoxify, while also strengthening the spleen and removing dampness.

My mom normally cook this with rock sugar instead of pork ribs. My little picky eater does not like the sweet version, so I customised this savoury version for him and he likes it! :)

Ingredients: (Yield 2-3 servings)

250g Pork Ribs

1 Thick Slice Winter Melon (cut into big chunks)

Handful of Barley 

1 Dried Fig (large US fig)

5-6 Seedless Red Dates

2 Dried Scallops

Handful of Wolfberries (optional)

Some salt to taste
