2. Cooking Tips for Cordyceps Flower Pork Ribs Soup

First of all, the most valuable thing about Cordyceps Flower is the fungal spore powder attached to the fruiting body of Cordyceps Flower, which has therapeutic effects. So don’t wash it too much. Just rinse it gently with water to avoid the loss of fungal spore powder and affect the efficacy. In addition, Cordyceps flowers should not be boiled for a long time when making soup, so as to avoid the loss of fragrance and destruction of nutrients. Generally, the boiling time should not exceed 30 minutes. Cordyceps flower is a fungus and is relatively cold, so remember to add ginger or pepper when cooking.

Secondly, before making the soup, blanch the ribs in water. This will remove the blood foam from the ribs. If time permits, you can stew the ribs first, then add the corn and cordyceps flowers after half an hour, and then add the wolfberries after another half an hour. Cook for 10 minutes and turn off the heat. The cordyceps flowers stewed with pork ribs made in this way are soft and tender, and the cordyceps flowers are added late, so they are chewy and have a good taste.
