Ingredients

1 large old melon, remove seeds and cut into big pieces

2 cups generous of lean pork ribs, cut into big pieces

5 red dates

5 dried scallops

1 teaspoon wolfberries

2 liters water or more

Optional: dried oysters, dried cuttlefish .. anything you like really but keep i

Preparation

Boil a small pot of water and put in pork ribs for 2 mins. Drain and set aside.

Use a 6L dutch oven and put in pork ribs, old melon, red dates and dried scallops. I also added a few pieces of dried cuttlefish and a very tiny piece of salted fish, so no salt is needed. Add water... lots of it and bring soup to a boil and simmer over small flame for 2 hours. Done!
