Paigu Luobo Tang (Chinese Pork Rib and Daikon Soup) image

A perfect winter comfort food. My 10-yr-old son brought home half a daikon from the market recently and said "Mom, make this into soup with meat." This is what he's getting. I like the slow cooker method, found at the end of the directions. You can use 1/2 lb carrots and 1/2 lb daikon if you like.

Time 2h20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 quarts water
1 piece ginger, 2-inch, smashed
2 teaspoons fine sea salt
1/2 lb pork spareribs, cut across the bone into 2-inch sections, then separated into individual ribs or 1/2 lb baby back ribs, cut across the bone into 1-inch sections, then separated into individual ribs
1 lb daikon radish
fresh cilantro (optional) or green onion, chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Stove top method:.
  • Place pork ribs, ginger, and water in a large pot. Cover and bring to a boil.
  • Turn down to a simmer and skim scum off the top. Continue simmering covered for 60 minutes, until almost completely tender.
  • In the meantime, peel the daikon and cut it into 1″ thick rounds, then quarter the rounds.
  • Add the daikon to the soup, and simmer 30-45 minutes more, until pork and daikon are both completely tender.
  • Adjust the seasoning, and serve, garnished with fresh cilantro or green onion.
  • Serve as part of a Chinese Meal.
  • Slow Cooker Method:.
  • Bring water to a boil on stovetop.
  • Carefully add all ingredients except cilantro/green onion to the boiling water. Bring back to a rolling boil and skim foam from the top.
  • Transfer to slow cooker.
  • Simmer 4-5 hours on high or all day on low. Set the lid of the slow cooker slightly askew so that some steam can escape as it is cooking.
