The working recipe — the Market List, the Method, and where it lives or dies

Origin
Guangdong Province — everyday Cantonese home cooking

Description
Cantonese slow-cooked soups extend beyond medicinal preparations to include simple vegetable broth traditions. Daikon with pork rib soup is among the most accessible: daikon and pork ribs cooked together for 2 hours in simple water, yielding a remarkably sweet, clear broth. The daikon sweetness migrates entirely into the broth while the pork adds body. This is Cantonese soup-as-daily-medicine — simple, sweet, cleansing.
