Old Cucumber Soup (老黄瓜汤)

Long long time never boiled any soup to drink, went to giant during lunch and saw the old cucumber quite nice.. so i decided to boil one small pot tonight. I bought small small old cucumber, around the size of my palm only. So small yet so expensive, RM3++ for that small little old cucumber...

after washed and cut and clean,
just pour everything inside the pot and boil
with low fire. you can either boiled with
chicken ribs or pork ribs..
i personally think pork ribs are nicer lor..
(so many red red one? that's red dates,
i accidentally pour out too many,
already wet, so no choice got to use all la..)

seedless red dates.
for a small pot (for 2 person)
10-15 should be enuf..

2 teaspoon of gei ji (枸子)
for ppl like us, worked in front of a computer
for more than 8 hours, should eat more gei ji.
it is very good for our eyes..

the old cucumber.
removed skin and seed, cut into
small chunks.
boiled on low fire till the old cucumber turned soft.
(about 1 hour + a bit..)

add a little bit of salt and
ready to be served.
(FL asked, y the soup so sweet one?
ooh, accidentally used too much
red dates lar.. :p)
