【Benefits】
In the hot summer, eating greasy food may not be refreshing. Drinking a nourishing and cooling soup is more suitable. Pork ribs have a moisturizing effect, and winter melon is known for its cooling and oil-removing properties. The combination of winter melon and pork ribs will result in a clear and refreshing soup.
Adding some dried scallops enhances the umami flavor. Dried scallops and winter melon are also a great combination. Drinking this soup in the summer will be beneficial for the body, providing a comfortable and moisturizing experience throughout the season.
For those who love meat, as long as you choose carefully, pork ribs can be just as good as eating pork chops. Before cooking the soup, let me tell you that it's important to cook the winter melon with the skin on as it will be more nutritious.
For friends from Guangdong who are experts in soup making, they always cook winter melon with the skin to preserve its essence.
