Black Bean Soup

Black bean soup is one of my favourite soups. The color of the soup may not illustrate the taste of the soup but I can raise my both hands with 100% guarantee that the soup is super duper yummyyyy..!!!!! You should have a try..!!!

Black bean also known as black turtle bean due to their shinny dark shell appearance. Black bean soup is highly nutritious as black beans are well known to be packed with all sorts of vitamins and minerals. Black bean is good for preventing cancer, heart disease and slowing the aging process.

In fact that, this soup does not require many ingredients due to its natural sweetness from black beans.

Please find below for my recipe :


Ingredients

1. 120 grams of black bean (rinsed and soaked in the water before cooking)
2. 10 red dates (removed the seeds)
3. 250 grams of pork spare ribs
4. 2 1/2 bowls of water (soup)
5. 500 ml of water
6. salt to taste

Steps

1. Bring the 500 ml water to boil. Add in the pork spare ribs. About 3-4 minutes later, removed the ribs and discard the water. This is to remove the unpleasant smell of the meat.
2. Add in 2 1/2 bowls of water and bring to boil. Add in all the ingredients. Let it boil for 10 minutes.
3. Lower the heat, and simmer the soup for another 60-70 minutes. The soup will taste better if simmering for a longer period.
4. Lastly, season with a bit of salt.
