Pork Rib Lotus Root Soup

Wash pork ribs and soak in water for at least 1 hour. Soak woodear mushrooms until rehydrated, then wash. Peel lotus root and slice into 1/2 inch thick pieces. Cut carrot into triangular shapes. Cut corn into chunks. Rinse off your kombu then set to the side to use. Start by boiling ribs with scallions and ginger for ~5-7 mins. Rinse off the pork, then add to a clean pot with veggies, mushrooms, kombu, and anchovies. Add enough water so that ingredients have been covered, about 7 cups. Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 hours but can go for as long as 4. In the last 10 mins of cooking, add in your goji berries. Add salt, 1 tbsp at a time. I recommend 3 but if you're not tasting it yet, add a little more! Remove kombu and anchovies when serving. Enjoy 🍲
