Shark's Fin Melon with Cordyceps Militaris 虫草花顿鱼翅瓜汤

One of my son's favourite soup is Shark's Fin Melon Soup and my daughter's orange soup, Cordyceps Militaris Chicken Soup.

Here, I combine both their favourites. Cordyceps Militaris makes the soup extra fragrant and sweet. This is one of the few soups that they both like. Usually, when one of them like a certain soup, chances are, the other one hates it. =_=|||

You probably know what I'm going to say next. "I have weird kids." :P

Ingredients:

• 500g Shark's Fin Melon, skin and seeds removed and cut into smaller pieces
• 250g Pork Ribs

2. Place blanched pork ribs in a fresh pot of water.
3. Put all ingredients, except wolfberries and salt in a pot.
4. Bring to a boil before reducing to a simmer.
5. Simmer for 3-4 hours.
