2 medium size cucumbers 1 pound of country style pork ribs or meaty bone from pork loin 1 quart of water 2 teaspoons of salt 1 teaspoon of sugar 1 tablespoon of finely chopped green onion 1/2 teaspoon of sesame oil
Instructions:
Peel cucumbers. Cut in half lengthwise. Scoop out seeds. Slice crosswise in 1/4" slices. Trim as mush fat as possible from pork. In a medium size saucepan, with a cover, bring water, pork and salt to a boil over high heat. Lower heat and with cover slightly ajar, simmer about 2 hours until the meat is tender and starting to separate from the bone. Add cucumbers. Raise heat to medium, and with cover slightly ajar, cook for 8 - 10 minutes. Remove bone, leaving as mush meat as possible in soup. Add sugar, green onion and sesame oil. Stir well. Serve hot. Makes 4 servings
