Ingredients You'll Need
For this recipe, the ingredients are simple and affordable. Here's what you'll need:
• 2 stalks of windgrass
• ½ pound of meat ribs (about 6 pieces)
• Water (enough to cover the meat)
• Salt (to taste)
• Pepper (a pinch or two)
• A small amount of soy sauce
• A piece of fresh ginger (about the size of your thumb)
These ingredients are all basic, so no need to worry about hard-to-find items. The windgrass adds a unique fragrance and a hint of sweetness that blends beautifully with the savory flavor of the meat.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Let's break down the steps and walk through this simple recipe together!
Step 1: Prepare the Windgrass and Meat
Start by cleaning the windgrass thoroughly and cutting it into small pieces. Don't skip this step—windgrass can sometimes carry dirt, so make sure it's clean before cooking.
Next, take the meat ribs and give them a quick rinse to remove any debris. We want the meat to be nice and clean before we start cooking.
Step 2: Boil the Meat
Take a pot that isn't too large, and add the meat ribs along with a piece of ginger (smash it lightly to release its flavor). Fill the pot with water, just enough to cover the meat. Bring it to a boil.
Once the water starts boiling, you'll notice some foam forming on the surface. Don't worry about it—just carefully pour the water out and rinse the meat again to remove the impurities. This will ensure your soup is nice and clear, without any off-putting flavors.
Step 3: Add Fresh Water
After rinsing the meat, fill the pot with fresh water again, enough to fully cover the ribs. Let the water come to a boil once more, and leave the ginger in the pot. This will form the base of your soup.
Step 4: Add the Windgrass
Now, toss in the freshly cut windgrass. This will infuse the soup with its unique aroma and sweetness, giving it a fragrant base that pairs perfectly with the meat. Let the ingredients cook together for a while, allowing the flavors to meld.
Step 5: Season to Taste
Once everything is cooked and the meat is tender, it's time to season your soup. Start by adding salt to taste. Just sprinkle it in, and keep tasting as you go to make sure it's perfectly seasoned. Remember, this part is about balancing the flavors, so take your time.
Next, add a pinch of pepper. If you're sensitive to the strong flavor of meat, feel free to add a bit more pepper to balance it out. However, if you're not a fan of meat, you might want to skip it entirely.
Step 6: Add Soy Sauce for Extra Flavor
For a little extra flavor, add a dash of soy sauce to the soup. This is completely optional, but it can give the dish an additional savory note. I personally like adding it because it enhances the soup's richness, but feel free to skip it if you prefer a lighter taste.
Step 7: Final Stir and Serve
Give everything a good stir, making sure the seasonings are evenly distributed. Once the meat is tender and the flavors have had time to develop, it's ready to be served!
