Chinese Mustard Soup

12 April 2009
 I love Chinese mustard, though it comes with this tiny tinge bitter taste...吃得苦中苦方为人上人....哈哈......

 
 
Ingredients (4 pax share):

- 350 to 400grams pork ribs
(Rather than throwing the entire piece of ribs into the soup, I like to cut the meat away from the ribs and chopped into smaller pieces before I throw both in so that I can feed my girl straight away :p).
- Fishballs (cut into half if you are giving to children to avoid them choking on fishballs)
- 1 mid-size chinese mustard (can get from any supermarket or wet market easily), chopped into bite-size.
- Salt and pepper to taste
- water

How to cook:

- Cook 1 pot (average sized pot) of water
- When the water is about half-boiled, add in the pork ribs.
- Before adding the pork ribs, rinse them with hot water twice. Remove the water when it turns milky. (This is to remove the porky 'smell'.)*
- When it boils, turn to lower heat and let it boil for another 15 mins.
- When it boils, add the chinese mustard and fishballs.
- Stir the ingredients to make sure that they are well covered with the water and leave it to boil at medium heat.
- Turn off the heat when it boils,  add in the salt and pepper for taste.
- The soup is ready to be served.
