This is an easy to prepare soup with only 2 main ingredients which are white radish and the pork bones which are required for stock. I also added a carrot, dried scallops, and dried honey dates to boost the flavour.
A white radish (Daikon, 白萝卜; bái luó bo) is a root vegetable that looks like carrots, but it is white in colour.
Notes
Tbsp = tablespoon
Chopped = chopped or cut into ½ cm pieces
Method
1. Boil a pot of water and place the pork bones in the pot.
2. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.
3. Remove the pork bones and set aside. Discard the water.
4. Transfer the pork bones and all the other ingredients to a large pot. Fill the pot with clean water enough to cover all the ingredients.
5. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to medium.
6. Simmer at medium heat for 30 to 40 minutes.
7. Season with salt according to your requirements and then remove from heat.
