soup

this time.. its just nice alone in this cold winter, enjoying my long-effort cooked soup whilst watching news on tv -_-'''

2day, i decided to try this- pork rib soup with various vegetables. so i went to store and just randomly buy ingredients. when i got back home, i prepared the things.. cooked rice.. and start boiling water, while i cut the meat and vege. it's really been a long time since I cooked smeth decent for myself. trust me, i had not cooked anyth this year really, apart frm oats!

so the ingredients into soup are:

- celery, carrot, potato, garlic, ginger, sweet corn

- pork spare ribs

i remembered, frm old mom's cook advice, the hard-to-cook things are to be inserted into boiling water 1st. so i just hantam put in the ribs, ginger, garlic. after boiling for 15-20 mins, then followed all the rest of ingredients. also into it, was 3-5 sprays of black pepper and 1 cube of chicken stock.

after half an hour, i tried to taste. it seemed that its so 'no-taste'. so i put in 1 more cube of stock, then based on my instinct, it really takes time for the flavor of the pork and sweet corn, carrot to simmer into soup. so.. i let it slow-boil for another 30-40 mins. then guess wt... ;)

it was so good. HAHAA... well.. okay la.. at least for my taste. it's sweet :) alritey, this will be one meal when my parents come huhu~ pictures as below.
