Instructions

Soak the herbs for 5-10 minutes in a small bowl to remove traces of impurities. This will help remove dust and debris. Rinse and set aside in a small bowl.
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.
If using dried wild mushrooms, soak for minimum of 2 hours to resuscitate.
If using fresh wild mushrooms, clean, pat dry with paper towels and slice into smaller pieces.
To make the matsutake mushroom soup, add the edible mushroom slices, pork and herbal ingredients into a clean soup pot not made of stainless steel like THIS Perfect Pot or a Buydeem Health Beverage Maker.
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 of water 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. Slow simmer for 60 minutes on low heat.
If you find your pot of soup is low in liquid, where most of the liquid has evaporated, add a bit of boiled hot water to the soup and continue cooking.
Salt to taste.
Serve and enjoy.
