Ribs & Seaweed Soup

1 Comment

My husband doesn’t like seaweed. But I think seaweed is really good for health. Yet, he doesn’t say no to seaweed soup. So I made this soup for him.

  1. Since I used dry seaweed, I soaked them in water till softened before I started cooking.
  2. In a deep pot, add in ribs and enough water. Bring to boil and skim the soup to remove all the dirt.
  3. Good soup takes long time. I put all the ribs in a slow cooker, with seaweed, corn, shiitake, red dates and some ginger slices.

Also pour in the water after boiling the ribs. Add more water if you want.

I cooked it for 2 hours. And just season with salt.

And a special dish was served, which is seaweed fried rice. It’s the first time my husband and I tried that dish. We loved it.

This dish is not difficult to cook.

Baby Squid, Seaweed & Egg Soup

2 Comments

One time my aunt in China asked me and my husband to have lunch at her home. My aunt used to own a small restaurant and she was the chef there. So she can cook really delicious food. She cooked baby’s squid egg soup that day. My husband tried it and loved it immediately. Even after 2 years, he’s still thinking about that soup. I remembered I was helping around when my aunt was cooking. It’s a very simple soup but I couldn’t get it right.

This time, I tried a different way.

1. Clean baby squid. Cut into halves.

2. In a pot, boil 2 cups water. Put the squid in and boil for 2 mins. Take the squid out and keep the stock.

3. In another pan or pot, heat 1 tsp oil. Sauté a bit chopped ginger.

4. Add in the stock. Bring to boil.

5. Pour in 2 beaten eggs. Stir a bit.

6. Add in baby squid and dried seaweed. Bring to boil.

7. Season with salt and sprinkle chopped spring onion.

My husband likes it, even though it’s different from the way my aunt cooked.
