Winter Melon Pork Ribs Soup

Dōngguā Páigǔ Tāng (Winter Melon and Pork Rib Soup) is a classic Cantonese slow-simmered clear soup. Pork ribs are simmered with winter melon, ginger, and dried dates for hours, producing a naturally sweet, deeply nourishing broth that is believed to have cooling properties in traditional Chinese medicine.
