Winter is a delicious season, and we always like to eat something to warm the stomach and nourish it. However, the problem that comes with it is that cold weather can make us feel dry and greasy easily. Therefore, what I want to share with you today is a sweet and non-greasy warming soup - cucumber pork rib soup. This soup not only nourishes the body, but also relieves cold and dryness, keeping us comfortable and healthy during the cold winter.
First of all, we need to buy fresh pork ribs. For this reason, it is best to buy at the morning market so that you can buy fresher ribs. Buying at night may be sold out or of poor quality. We asked the store to help cut the purchased ribs into pieces to ease our cooking burden. It's really much more convenient to buy meat now than it used to be. In the past, it was undoubtedly a time-consuming and laborious task to cut the meat by yourself when you got home.
After preparing the ribs, we can soak them in water first, which can reduce the fishy smell of the ribs. Of course, you can also choose to blanch the water for treatment.
For cucumbers, we should first peel them and then cut them in half, removing the seeds in the middle. Cucumber seeds are inedible and must be removed thoroughly. Once processed, cut the cucumber into large pieces. Please note that the slices should not be too small to avoid losing their texture during the stewing process.
Place the prepared ribs, carrots, and cucumber chunks in the rice cooker and add the appropriate amount of water. If you have a saucepan at home, you can also choose to use it for simmering. The soup cooked in the saucepan was more mellow, but this time we were pressed for time, so we chose the rice cooker.
Once the pot is covered, select the function of the stew and wait for the time to end. After the clock rings, we can open the exhaust valve and expel a part of the gas, so that the lid can be opened faster and it is more convenient to eat. Of course, you can also wait for the gas in the pan to release naturally. Wait until the lid is open, add an appropriate amount of salt and stir well with a spoon. A cucumber pork rib soup is complete.
This cucumber pork rib soup is sweet and refreshing, rich in a variety of nutrients. First of all, pork ribs are high-quality protein** that provides the amino acids your body needs. Secondly, cucumber is rich in vitamin C, which not only has antioxidant effects, but also promotes collagen production and maintains skin elasticity. In addition, carrots are rich in carotene, which can be converted into vitamin A by the body, which helps to protect eyesight and maintain the normal functioning of the immune system. The combination of these nutrients not only presents a sweet and mellow taste, but also satisfies the needs of the body. Especially for winter, cucumber pork rib soup is a great choice, it can warm the stomach without burdening the body.
Overall, this cucumber pork rib soup is an easy-to-make, delicious, and nutritious home-cooked dish. It not only satisfies our need for warm-up food, but also brings a sweet and refreshing taste. Especially in the cold winter months, we tend to consume too much greasy food, and this soup provides us with a healthy and light option. Through clever selection of ingredients and cooking techniques, we are able to enjoy the deliciousness and nutrition of this soup.
Personally, I'm also one of those people who love to cook at home, and it's through constant exploration and experimentation that I have the opportunity to share these delicious recipes with everyone. For me, cooking is an art and a pleasure. Whenever I see my family tasting my work with satisfaction, I feel that this is the greatest reward.
