September 23, 2023 Choi Yen 4 comments

By just reading the post title, many of you might think of those sweet dessert soups, in puree form that we usually can get from Chinese Tong Sui restaurant. I like those Tong Sui but make them at home is quite a tedious work, so just let the expert do it and we just enjoy the delicacy in the shop. (・ω<)

Today recipe is a savoury soup with two types of nuts that very easily obtained from any supermarkets or morning markets – walnuts and peanuts, together with some others usual boiled soup ingredients.

Ingredients (Serve: 3-4)

400g pork bones

30g peanuts, washed and soaked for 2 hours

30g walnuts, washed

2 dry candied dates

3pcs ginger

2500ml water

Salt to taste

To blanch the pork ribs (optional)

1 tablespoon of cooking wine

A few slices of ginger

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Step 1: Put the pork bones/pork ribs/chicken, ginger and cooking wine into a pot of water and bring to a boil, to remove blood and impurities. Remove, drain and set aside.

Step 2: Put all the ingredients (except salt) 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: Add salt to taste and serve.
