Watercress Bone Broth

Overview

Watercress is an aquatic plant. I remember that a classmate’s family used to grow these vegetables. Every winter, the pond was covered with green, which looked very beautiful and eye-catching. The biggest feeling in Guangdong is that Cantonese people are afraid of getting angry, so they often cook a lot of soup to keep their families safe. Today's watercress bone soup is an authentic Cantonese-style old fire soup. Almost every family in Cantonese will cook this soup in winter to clear away heat from the lungs, moisten dryness, and keep the family safe.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Wash the watercress, chop the pork bones into large pieces, and soak the oysters in water for a while to wash away the dust.

   

2. 2 Pour the bones into a pot with cold water, turn on the heat, blanch the blood, wash and set aside.

   

3. 3 Wash the watercress and soak it in light salt water for 30 minutes. This can remove pesticide residues and kill insects.

   

4. 4 Put the bones into a casserole and add water.

   

5. 5 Put ginger slices and oyster sauce into the pot.

   

6. 6 Two candied dates.

   

7. 7 Cover the lid and turn on high heat. After boiling, turn to low heat and simmer for 60 minutes to allow the oysters and bones to fully develop the flavor.

   

8. 8 After 60 minutes, put the watercress into the pot, bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low heat and simmer for 40-60 minutes.

   

9. 9 Just add appropriate amount of salt to taste before eating.
