STORY BEHIND THE RECIPE<\/span><\/h1>\n

My mother is Cantonese, so like all good Cantonese households, it is a must to have soup for dinner. On weekdays, we would have ‘quick boiling soups’ which are faster to cook, such as Potato, Carrot and Onion (or ABC) soup<\/a>, or Tofu with Fishball Soup, just to name a few.<\/p>\n

During weekends, we would have \u7172\u6c64 (Po Tong in Cantonese), which are more elaborate, slow cooking soups, like\u00a0Salted Vegetable Duck Soup<\/a>,\u00a0\u00a0Old Cucumber Soup<\/a>, and\u00a0Lotus Root Soup.<\/a>\u00a0Sweet corn pork rib soup is my youngest daughter’s favourite, and this soup can be a meal on its own that you can eat with plain rice.<\/p>\n

TRICK OF THE TRADE<\/span><\/h1>\n

Instead of pork ribs, you can also use pork bones as a more economical alternative. Two good choices of pork bones from the wet market are known colloquially as “bing bang ban” (1st picture) and “suo shi gu” (2nd picture).<\/p>\n

The great thing about these two cuts is that there is just enough fat marbling to keep the meat tender after boiling, yet not too much that the soup becomes oily. Some cuts of pork will end up hard and dehydrated after boiling, but the meat from these two cuts are still nice and tender after boiling for 3 hours!<\/span><\/p>\n
