Big Bone Pear Soup

Leave a comment

It’s the first time for me to try this dish. It’s a very simple Soup. But if you want the soup to be more delicious, it will take more time to cook it.

First, pour enough water in a deep pot. Put big bone or ribs into it. 

Turn to high heat. When water boils, remove the foam floating on surface. 

Turn to low heat. Cover the pot with lid. Boil for at least half an hour. In Chinese cuisine, good soup is usually a bit time consuming. I let the bone boil in pot for around one hour. And the soup become milky white in color.

Then add in pear chunks. And boil for at least another half an hour. Sprinkle some salt before serving.


It just needs bone or ribs, pear, water and salt. So it’s a simple soup. But it turns out very delicious. Pear adds sweetness to it. My husband loves it.

Cereal Prawns

One of my husband favorite dishes.

1. Clean prawns and marinate with some salt and cooking wine for around 10 mins.

2. Heat some oil in the pan. I didn’t deep fry those prawns I just pan fried them. Dish them out till the shell turns red. I pan fried them with high heat so that the shell would be crunchy.

3. Melt a small piece of butter in the pan. Add in chopped red chili, spring onion and curry leaves if you have. 

4. Put in cereal. Stir fry for a min or two. Then add prawns back in the pan.

Glutinous rice needs to be soaked in water for overnight.

Stuff chicken with glutinous rice, 3 or 4 garlic cloves, 2 or 3 red dates. And then tight the chicken up in case the stuff inside run out.

Put chicken in a large deep pot. Add in enough water. Make spring onion a knot, then add in the pot with several ginger slices.


1. Turn to high heat. When the soup boils, remove the foam on the surface. 

2. Then turn to low heat and cook for 45 mins.

3. Turn off the stove and keep the lid on for another one hour.

4. Sprinkle salt. Turn on low heat and braise for another half an hour.

5. Sprinkle some chopped spring onion. And ready to serve.



Chicken tastes soft and juice. You can serve with kimchi.
