1
Blanch the pork bones in a pot of boiling water with ginger slices. Once the water returns to a boil, remove and discard the bones and water to cleanse them.
2
In a fresh pot, bring water to a boil. Cut the old cucumber into chunks and remove the center portions.
3
Add the blanched pork bones to the boiling water. Add dried scallops and dried oysters to create natural saltiness.
4
Add red dates and goji berries to balance the saltiness and provide sweetness and nutritional benefits.
5
Add the old cucumber last. Bring to a boil on high heat, then reduce to minimum heat and simmer for at least 90 minutes or longer (up to 3 hours for deeper flavours).
6
During cooking, add more water as needed to compensate for evaporation and maintain adequate liquid.
7
Once cooked, skim off any excess oil from the surface if desired. Taste the soup and add salt only if needed. Serve and enjoy with a touch of soy sauce if preferred.
