Instructions
1. Soak the fungus
Soak white fungus for about 15min (or longer) in water to soften it. Cut off the hard bottom and discard. Cut the remaining white fungus into smaller piecesand set aside.
2. Blanch the pork ribs
In a pot of boiling water, blanch the pork ribs for about 5 min to remove scum. Remove pork ribs from the pot. Rinse and set aside. (For a clearer broth, lean meat can be used.)

Add blanched pork ribs, apple and pears,snow fungus, dried figs, honey dates, red dates, north and south almonds into boiling water.

Plate and Serve!
Turn off heat and serve. Do not skip the process of blanching the pork ribs if you want a clear pot of soup.
