old cucumber soup (老黄瓜汤)

I always felt that it's very warmth to be back home with a bowl of hot steaming soup waiting!  With new technologies nowadays, cooking soup without using gas is so convenient for those who needs to work. You still can have a bowl of nice soup after work easily.

Serve 4

Ingredients:

800g Spare ribs (boil with water in pot for 8 mins, drain, wash and set aside)

1 big old cucumber (cut big pieces)

• Put in pork ribs, honey dates and old cucumber and boil for an hour with low-med fire.
