Sparerib And Napa Soup Recipe

1 lb pork spareribs, cut into small chunks
3 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
5 cups water
1 head Napa cabbage, cut into thin strips
4 dried mushrooms, soaked in water, then cut into strips
1 Tbsp rice wine (or any white wine)
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground pepper

Get out a heavy soup pot and put over medium-high heat. Add the spareribs, smashed garlic, and water to the pot. Bring to a boil, then turn heat to low and cover pot. Simmer very gently for 1 hour.

Remove pot from stove and let cool slightly, then remove bones and any extra fat if you wish from the mixture.

Put pot back on low heat and add the cabbage, mushrooms, wine, salt, and pepper and bring mixture to a gentle simmer and let cook for 15 minutes or until the cabbage is tender.
Taste and add more salt and pepper if desired and serve hot.

Will serve 2 to 4.
