This is another one of my favourite soup during Chinese New Year. A very apetising soup cos is sourish . Here's another recipe from mom and I love the way she do it.
Ingredient
3L of water
300g salted vege from wet market (washed & tear into pcs)
4 bigTomatoes (cut into halves)
3 onions (peeled & cut into halves)
6 pcs tofu (cut into 4 pcs & to be added last)
1 nutmeg seed or buah pala (can get from Indian mamak shop)
3 star anise (bunga cengkih)
2 cinamon stick (kayu manis)
1/2 kg of pork ribs for soup
1/2 bird of duck (optional)
Method
Here's a secret.In order to make your soup clear & not dirty, dip your meat into a hot boiling water for 5 min. U can see a lot of dirty stuff floating at the top of the water & also the fats/oil. Take the meat out & wash with runing water (tap)
Put all ingredient into soup pot (except tofu) & boil for 3 hrs . Allow the soup to boild for 30 min high fire (this will extract all the goodness from all ingredient into the boiling water) then later change to low fire to boild for another 2 1/2 hrs. Put in the tofu when u are ready to serve the soup , just boil it for another 5 min.
If u have a good pressure cooker, boil the soup for only 45 min. Do not open the lid immediately after 45 min.Read your mannual.You must allow the internal pressure to go down before opening the cover.
Some of you may not like Star anise & cinamon stick- you may skip this
