Sharks Fin Melon with Cordyceps Militaris 虫草花顿鱼翅瓜汤

One of my sons favourite soup is Sharks Fin Melon Soup and my daughters 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 Im going to say next. "I have weird kids." :P

• 500g Sharks Fin Melon, skin and seeds removed and cut into smaller pieces


• 250g Pork Ribs


• 1.5 ltr Water


• 15g Cordyceps Militaris 虫草花


• 2 tablespoon Wolfberries 枸杞子


• 8 Dried Seedless Red Dates 红枣


• Salt to taste

How to do it:

1. Blanch 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.
