Old Cucumber Soup

Old cucumber soup is especially popular during hot weather. It is believed to help cool the body from the inside, making it perfect for hot humid climates.  It has a clean, mellow flavour that’s naturally sweet from the old cucumber and red dates, with a rich, savoury depth from the pork bones and umami sweetness from the dried squid. The texture of the soup is light and smooth, while the old cucumber turns soft and tender after simmering, almost melting in your mouth.

Notes

Choosing old cucumber – Choose those that have a firm body and without blemishes on the skin.
Thorough cleaning and blanching the meat – Always rinse the pork ribs until the water runs clear. Then blanch ribs or bones before simmering to keep your soup clear and reduce porky taste.
Simmer gently, not boil – A gentle simmer extracts the best flavours and keeps the broth light.
