Yen Can Cook ~ Green Papaya Peanut Soup
Although green papaya is known for increasing milk supply for breastfeeding mothers. But this soup can also be consumed by all as it improves the function of our digestive system and consequently boost our skin vitality.
Ingredients (Serve: 3-4)
1 small green papaya (about 500-700g), peeled, seeds removed and cut into big chunks
500g pork ribs
80g peanuts, washed and soaked for 2 hours
2 dry candied dates
2500ml water
Salt to taste
To blanch the pork ribs
1 tablespoon of cooking wine
A few slices of ginger
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Step 1: Bring a pot of water to a boil, add in a few ginger slices and 1 tablespoon of cooking wine, blanch the pork ribs to remove blood and impurities. Remove, drain and set aside.
Step 2: Put green papaya, peanut, pork ribs and honey dates into a pot and add in water until enough to immerse all the ingredients. Bring to a boil and lower the heat and let the soup simmer for 2-3 hours.
Step 3: Season with salt and serve.
HAPPY COOKING! #stayhealthy
When you say green papaya, you mean unripe papaya, right? Coz they all look green on the outside…haha! 😀 Love soups like these especially when using pork ribs.
Kris, yeah, unripe papaya, ripen one is orange in colour mah, hehe 😛
Certainly this is kinda exotic for me. Have never tried any soup with papaya… 😀
Tekkaus, actually papaya can be cooked into sweet or savoury soup and I’ll be sharing another sweet dessert by using papaya too soon. Stay tune! ^__^
