Instructions

Soak the herbs in a small bowl in cold water for 5-10 minutes to remove traces of impurities. This will help remove dust and debris. Rinse and set aside in a small bowl.
Wash and pat dry vegetables. Cut the vegetables into chunky, thick, or round pieces, approximately 2 inches.
Wash the pork ribs, pork shank or tenderloin with cold water and pat dry with a kitchen paper towel. It is only necessary to cut the pork ribs into small pieces if your pot needs to be bigger.
Blanched pork ribs in a medium pot to remove the impurities and excess foam. Rinse with cold water. Set aside.
Add sliced vegetables, parboiled pork bones and herbal ingredients into a clean, large stock pot not made of stainless steel like THIS Ceramic Pot or a Buydeem Health Beverage Maker to make Ching Bo Leung with pork rib soup.
Although not all Chinese herbs react with metal, it is best not to use a metal pot when making Chinese medicinal herbal soups.
Fill a large pot with enough water to cover to make the clear soup stock. We used approximately 4 litres of cold water.
Boil at high heat for 30 minutes, then reduce to low heat. Continue with a slow, gentle simmer for 60 minutes on low heat.
Skim off excess foam on the surface of the soup.
Salt to taste.
Serve and enjoy.
