Description

Ingredients

• 1 pound of pork ribs
• 2 fresh corn on the cob - cut into chunks
• 1 carrot - peeled and cut into bite-sized chunks
• 1 large red onion - cut into quarters
• 20 g ikan bilis (dried anchovies) - rinsed
• 4 dried honey dates
• 8 cups of water

Directions

• Bring a small pot of water to a rolling boil. Parboil the pork ribs for about 5 minutes to remove scum and dirt. Remove and set aside.
• Place the pork ribs, corn, red onion, ikan bilis, dried honey dates and water into the inner pot. Bring to a boil. Once the water boils, reduce the heat and let the soup simmer for about 45 minutes.
• Turn off the fire and make sure the inner pot is covered with the lid. Transfer the inner pot into the outer pot.
• Close the outer lid and leave it for 2 hours for the trapped heat to continue cooking.
• After 2 hours, the soup is ready. Open the lid of the outer pot first. Then open the lid of the inner pot carefully. Season with salt if preferred. Serve immediately.
