If you have pork chops, pleasssssssssssssse don’t miss this recipe: Seaweed, Green Bean and Pork Chop Soup.

I dug up this recipe when I was in China eating at a restaurant called Nine-headed Bird, a kind of Hu Bei cuisine. It is famous for their varieties of pork chop soups, such as lotus roots and pork chop soup. But I like this one better. Just love the texture of cooked green bean melted away in the soup and the smell of seaweed.

I tried this recipe at home right after I had it in the restaurant. My dad, pretty much crooked for his long-recovery process from shingles, loved it and had more than 2 bowls of soup (He was kind of losing his appetite at that moment). I was very proud of what I have done.

I think it’s particularly good for summer as green beans can help with getting rid of internal heat. However, you won’t be disappointed to have it in winter as well. I cooked it again today. It was very nice and very satisfying.
