I shop weekly at Fairprice for all my groceries. Seeing the water cress on offer, I selected 2 bunches to boil soup. LOVE Water Cress Soup when I 1st tasted it at an ex-neighbour's place in Sim's Drive. My late-mum was forbidden to cook any cooling food at home. Late-dad threw the water cress away when I asked her to buy. Dear hubby & jiejie love it too so I cook it quite often for dinner.
Whilst working at DBS in Clifford Centre, I had ordered Water Cress Soup at the old Boat Quay. The stems were long, hard & very difficult to chew. With a pressure cooker, it's very easy to boil this soup. The water cress are soft & so yummy that I need at least 2 bunches of them.
Here is how I cooked them.
Ingredients
2 bunch Water cress
500 g Spare rib (I use PorKee prime rib)
1 Honey dates
9 Red dates
3 Tbsp Kei chee
5 slice Ginger
Abt 3lit Water
1.5 tsp Salt (can vary to your liking)
Method
1. Rinse the watercress twice & cut into shorter section.
2. Blanch the pork bone. Soak honey dates in hot water to soften.
3. Rinse red dates & kei chee.
4. Heat up a big pot of water, add all the ingredients.
5. Cover & pressure-cook for abt 20 mins.
Note
I'm using a pressure cooker on induction hob, you may need to cook for abt 2-4 hrs if using a normal pot on gas stove.
