Serves: 6
Ingredients
- 1 pound of pork ribs
- 2 fresh corn on the cob - cut into chunks
- 1 carrot - peeled and cut into bite-sized chunks
- 1 large red onion - cut into quarters
- 20 g ikan bilis (dried anchovies) - rinsed
- 4 dried honey dates
- 8 cups of water
Instructions
- Bring a small pot of water to a rolling boil. Parboil the pork ribs for about 5 minutes to remove scum and dirt. Remove and set aside.
- Place the pork ribs, corn, red onion, ikan bilis, dried honey dates and water into the inner pot. Bring to a boil. Once the water boils, reduce the heat and let the soup simmer for at least 30 minutes or until 45 minutes.
- Turn off the fire and make sure the inner pot is covered with the lid. Transfer the inner pot into the outer pot.
- Close the outer lid and leave it for 2 hours for the trapped heat to continue cooking.
- After 2 hours, the soup is ready. Open the lid of the outer pot first. Then open the lid of the inner pot carefully. Season with salt if preferred. Serve immediately.
