Pork Rib Soup (Sup Iga Babi)


It was snowing yesterday and my little family needs something to keep them warm from inside (beside the heater in our house...). This soup would be a perfect meal for us, especially for daddy as he was tired from work and cold from outside weather.

Ingredients:
- 700gr pork ribs, cut into pieces
- 4 carrots, peel and cut into small pieces
- 3 potato, peel and cut into small pieces
- 400gr red kidney beans, soak in water overnightly
- 8 cm of ginger, cut into 2 and crack it with pestle (Indonesian-keprek dengan ulekan)
- 6 cloves of garlic, slice thinly
- 3 green onion, chop
- water
- salt
- sugar
- ground white pepper

Cook pork ribs and beans in two separate pots until tender. Add potato and then carrot in the pot with the ribs. Add ginger and garlic and continue to cook. Add salt, sugar and pepper and taste it. At last add the cooked beans and chopped green onion.

Note: Serve in a bowl while it is hot. Sprinkle some fried onion on top of it. Cooking the ribs and beans separately aims to avoid dark red appearance.
