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

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