Kou Kei (medlar) Soup

Hot Hot Hot......It's middle of the year again, the hot weather is terrible. I cooked some kou kei (medlar) soup (thanks pris for finding out for me the english name for kou kei). Only the leaves can be eaten, discard the stem and be careful of the thorns. The soup is very tasty and nice.

Ingredients

1 bunch of kou kei vegetables
10 pork meat balls (est)
200 gm pork ribs-scalded in boiling water for 3 mins
1 tsp of salt
light soya sauce to taste
2 litres of water (est)

Method

1. Scald pork ribs and discard water.
2. Add pork ribs, water, salt to pot.
3. When boiled, add pork meat balls and light soya sauce to taste.
4. Continue to boil for another 15 to 20 mins from medium to low heat.
5. Then add vegetables (leaves only) and boil for a minute or two.
6. Turn off heat and add egg white and stir the soup as you add so that the egg white would not be lumpy and can give a flowering effect.
