How to beat the heat? The <a href=\"https:\/\/asiantigersgroup.com\/resources\/destination-guide\/china\/\">Chinese<\/a> believed that eating Yin food could help our bodies to counter the summer heat and humidity. Winter melon happens <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">be one of the Yin food, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">so <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">the Chinese usually enjoy the winter melon soup <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">in <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">summer. Not only can it resist the heat, but it is also very delicious that many households and Chinese banquets will serve this soup. Want to learn how to make the Chinese favourite? Take a look at the following receipts<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">!&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are many different ways to prepare winter melon soup; this recipe uses shiitake mushrooms and pork ribs. You can get these ingredients at the supermarket or local market easily.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ingredients:&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">800g of pork ribs: <\/span><\/li>\n<li>4 <span>dried shiitake mushrooms&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">2 to 3 slices of ginger <\/span><\/li>\n<li>One teaspoon of salt&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">800ml chicken broth&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul><\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Steps<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: <\/span><\/p>\n<p>1. Wash the winter melon and Remove the rind and seeds. Then cut the meat into chunks. We suggest cutting the winter&nbsp;<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">melon into <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">2<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">-inch chunks. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>2. Boil a pot of water to blanch the pork ribs. Some may say this is a waste of time, but if you want your soup <\/span><span>to <\/span><span>be clear&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">with no floating scums, you don&#8217;t want <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">skip this <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">step<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>3. Place dried shiitake mushrooms in a small bowl. Cover with cold water, and set aside for 20 minutes to reconstitute the&nbsp;<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">mushrooms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> 4. <\/span>Place the winter melon, pork ribs, and shiitake mushroom into 800 ml chicken broth, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat&nbsp;<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">and simmer for approximately 20 minutes, until the winter melon and pork are tender.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">5. Adjust the amount of salt <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">suit your taste and enjoy!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/asiantigersgroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/iStock-1256091386.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"1254\" height=\"836\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-21921 size-full\"><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">More topics for <a href=\"https:\/\/asiantigersgroup.com\/news\/industry-news\/western-expatriates-are-leaving-asia\/\">expatriates<\/a> in Asia, please visit asiantigersgroup.com\/category\/media\/blog\/&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you would like assistance with shipping or <a href=\"https:\/\/asiantigersgroup.com\/service\/relocation-management-services\/\">relocation<\/a> support, contact your local Asian Tigers office or reach <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">out <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">to us via our online contact form. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Expat Living &#8211;
