Cranberry Beans with Pork Ribs Soup 珍珠豆排骨汤


The other day I was chatting with my friend, June, about food and she showed me a link on beans. I didn't know there are so many different types of beans. So interesting. I saw one of the listed beans as the one I often see in the market. The next day, I went to bought some to make soup. I tasted really nice. A bit powdery but it taste very close to lotus roots soup. Yummy!

Oh, keep these beans out of reach of young children. My daughter thought they were white chocolate candies and want to eat them!

Ingredients:
  • 250g Pork Ribs, blanched
  • 4 cups Cranberry Beans aka 珍珠豆
  • 1 litre Water
  • Salt to taste
How to do it:
  1. Put all ingredients except salt in a pot and bring to a boil.
  2. Reduce heat and simmer for another hour.
  3. Add salt to taste.
Simple as that!
