Chinese white radish soup



Ingredients
1 large white radish(skinned and chopped into pieces)
3 dried octopus
250-300grams of pork ribs
3-4 bowls of water for soup

1.Wash the porks ribs with salt and pepper. Boiled about 2 bowls of water and put in the pork ribs for about 5 seconds and remove(this is to remove the meaty smell).
2.In the pot, boiled 3-4 bowls of water. Placed in slightly cooked pork ribs, chopped radish and dried octopus. Boiled for 1 hour till radish are soft. Serve hot.

This soup is known to remove the heatiness in our body. I always love to cooked this soup as it is simple and delicious. Dried octopus is prefered than dried cuttlefish due to its unique taste. It tastes better if you are able to boil longer, but becareful not to let it dry out. A must try if you love carrots!

Miso soup with Enoki mushrooms


I bought this packet of instant miso soup at Daiso. It costs $2 and had 3 individual packs inside. I guess its red miso. I still prefer the instant white miso I bought last time at cold storage and also NTUC. All you had to do was to mix hot water with the miso paste and dried wakame and you get your soup.

I found it quite plain so I added some Enoki mushrooms. The enoki mushrooms came out with a slight miso taste in it which I would say its nice. I love enoki mushrooms so I added 1 whole packet into 2 servings of miso soup. Instead of just adding hot water, I brought it to boil till the mushrooms were cooked. Enoki mushrooms can be replaced with Shitake mushrooms(dried/fresh).

Here's a picture of my yummilicious miso soup!
