Discover a comforting recipe for Slow-Simmered Honey Dates Old Cucumber and Pork Trotter Soup 蜜枣老黄瓜猪蹄老火汤 on My Wok Life. Indulge in a nourishing and flavorsome dish !

Slow-Simmered Honey Dates Old Cucumber and Pork Trotter Soup
Slow-Simmered Honey Dates Old Cucumber and Pork Trotter Soup

Adapted from the popular Chinese old cucumber and pork ribs soup. It was better in this version, sweeter soup with smoother mouthfeel. The presentation of the soup looks more alluring, too.

Simple and quick to assemble. Let’s give our loved ones some healthy and nourishing soup dishes.

This soup is most likable by children or one who prefers light and sweeter flavor in soup.

Recipe for Slow-Simmered Honey Dates Old Cucumber and Pork Trotter Soup

Serves 4-5
Ingredients
1 old cucumber, peeled, removed seeds and cut
1/2 pork trotter (pig trotter), cut
3 honey dates
1 dried cuttlefish, rinsed
Handful of wolfberries

1 large pot of water, half filled (for soup boiling)

Method
1) Blanch pork trotter in a pot of boiling water. Drain and keep aside.

2) Fill another pot half full (around 1500ml of water), bring it to a boil over high fire. Add dried cuttlefish and old cucumber. Return blanched pork trotters. Bring it to another boil.

3) Lower heat. Add honey dates and continue to simmer for another 3-4 hours, or until pork trotters are softened. Add wolfberries 10 minutes before heat off. Serve hot.

A serving of my soup with few pieces of pork trotters counts about 180kcal.

Tips: This recipe can be prepared in slow cooker, too. Simply add all ingredients into croak pot and shift to auto mode, leaving it whole day till ready to serve.

One of my go-to dining places when I need a quiet One of my go-to dining places when I need a quiet and relaxing (with live piano performance) dinner on a week night if I am in KL. #colonialcafe at The Majestic Hotel in Kuala Lumpur. 

Serving not just the Western, but Hainanese cuisine. Loved their dinner rolls (but not the butter), too. 

Averagely RM150 per pax for a 2-course (shared appetizer and main course) and coffee/ chilled drink.

Just came across a random IG post this morning saying that “woman over 40, can never looked as young and as energetic as young girls no matter how well she took care of herself”…… In the first place, why should women over their 40s, to take care of themselves and their appearance, is to compare with young girls…. Why only women over 40 need to be taught by him (a guy at his 20s or so) that these women should and should not do certain things in their life…. Why only women over 40s….. Speechless. Period. #happymothersdaytoall
