Every time when I go to the market, I cannot resist the temptation to take a few close-up looks at these beautiful borlotti/ cranberry beans. But I didn't buy any because I had no clue on how to cook it. Until recently, I discoverred that using them to boil soup is not only easy but so tasty as well. My son felt so much "in love" with the beans until he ate 80% of them from the soup!
Ingredients:
150g borlotti/ cranberry beans
200g pork loin
2 large candied dates (蜜枣）
1000ml water
Seasonings:
Salt to taste
Methods:
1. Blanch pork loin in boiling water for a short while. Dish and set aside.
2. Bring 1 liter water to boil. Put all ingredients inside. Bring the water to boiling again and switch to low fire.
3. Boil for 2 hours. Turn off the heat. Salt to taste and serve.
