Pork Bone and Daikon Radish Soup

I grew up with this soup, it is my all time favorite.  When friends come over this is always a hit!  It takes a long time to make but is very easy and well worth it.

Ingredients

1 lb pork bones or pork ribs
1 lb Daikon radish
green onions and/or cilantro
sliced fresh ginger (about 2 inches of a regular size ginger)

Directions

Boil pork bones for approximately 5 minutes. Remove and discard water. This gets rid of the scum that floats to the top.
Add ginger and pork bones to 4 cups (or enough to cover all the ingredients) of fresh boiling water for 10 minutes then reduce to a low boil and cook for at least 90 minutes.

Chop Daikon radish. Slice the radish into 1/4 – 1/2 inch thick circles and then chop them into quarters.

Add Daikon to soup and let cook for 20 minutes.

Add chopped green onions or cilantro, salt to taste.

Makes 4 servings.
