Benefits of Radish and Pork Ribs Soup

Let's talk about spareribs first. They are rich in protein, fat, vitamins, calcium, iron and other minerals. Protein is an important component of body cells and can help us strengthen our physique. Calcium and iron are also important for bone health and hematopoietic function.

Radish is even more amazing. It is rich in vitamin C and dietary fiber. Vitamin C can resist oxidation and enhance immunity. Dietary fiber can promote intestinal peristalsis and make our stomach healthier. Radish also helps digestion and relieve gas. You won’t feel greasy even if you eat too much.

Stew them together into soup, the radish absorbs the deliciousness of the ribs, and the ribs become more refreshing. This soup is delicious and nutritious. A bowl of it in cold weather is warming and nourishing.

Is carrot soup good for cough?

Radish soup is good for cough. In traditional Chinese medicine, radish has the effect of clearing heat and resolving phlegm, and relieving gas and relieving fullness. If the cough is caused by wind-heat cold or lung heat, radish soup can help clear the heat from the lungs, dilute the phlegm, and make it easier to expel the phlegm from the body.

Moreover, radish is rich in water and nutrients such as vitamin C. Drinking radish soup can moisturize the throat and relieve throat discomfort caused by coughing. However, if the cough is more serious or caused by other complex diseases, radish soup may only play an auxiliary role in relief and cannot replace drug treatment.

Tips for Success

First of all, the selection of ingredients is extremely important. Choose fresh ribs, preferably ribs with some meat, so that the stewed soup will be more delicious. Choose radishes with thin skin, thick meat and plenty of water, so that the stewed radishes will be sweeter and more delicious.

Next, there are also some tips on how to prepare the ingredients. The ribs should be blanched first to remove the blood and impurities, so that the stewed soup will be clearer. The radish should be cut into pieces of appropriate size, so that the taste of the radish can be maintained and the radish can better absorb the flavor of the soup.

Then, the key is to control the heat. First, boil the soup over high heat, then simmer it over low heat. This will not only keep the soup fresh, but also allow the ingredients to be fully stewed and the nutrients to be better released.

By the way, there is another little secret, which is to add a little cooking wine and ginger slices to remove the fishy smell and enhance the flavor. During the stewing process, adding an appropriate amount of cooking wine and ginger slices can not only remove the fishy smell of the ribs, but also add the aroma of the soup, making the whole soup more delicious.

Finally, don't forget to season it! Add salt, chicken essence and other seasonings according to your personal taste to make the soup more flavorful. But be careful not to add too much seasoning, so as not to cover up the taste of the ingredients themselves.

Cold kelp shreds: kelp shreds are refreshing and delicious, rich in various minerals. Paired with radish and pork ribs soup, the freshness of kelp shreds can alleviate the greasy feeling of the soup, making the taste richer and the nutrition more balanced.

Eating them with carrot and pork ribs soup can increase the intake of dietary fiber, while the freshness of the vegetables can complement the richness of the soup.

Serving Suggestions:

Radish and pork ribs soup is best eaten while it is hot. Hot soup can better reflect the aroma, and the tenderness of the pork ribs and the softness of the radish taste better in hot soup. And drinking the hot soup will make your whole body feel warm.

Radish and pork ribs soup is rich in nutrition, but because the soup contains a certain amount of fat, it is recommended to be consumed in moderation.
