Chinese Yam, Sweet Corn, Carrot & Pork Rib Soup / 山药玉米萝卜排骨汤

Lately, soup is the most important part of the dinner for T. No matter how sumptuous the dishes are, there must be a soup EVERY day. I guess I have turned him into a Cantonese in term of the soup culture. He likes Chinese style long-boiled soup very much, now he even remember that we have a pressure cooker at home that can cook all his favorite soups like magic.

Frankly, life is so much easier with a pressure cooker. I personally think that every household should have one, it doesn't matter if it is an old fashion stove type or a modern electric pressure cooker. With a pressure cooker, hearty pork rib soup like this one is ready to serve in 30 mins. It will take much longer time cooking the traditional way. 

最近我家老爷真烦，每天都会问我晚餐煮什么汤，有时还会下单点老火排骨汤。会不会是我把他养成了广东人的胃了？前几天他自己买了牛筋要吃炖萝卜，懒着的我想忽悠他说牛筋要炖很久晚餐来不及了。他立马回了一句：你不是有压力锅吗？ 惊，从来不管厨房的他也知道我们家有压力锅！话说回来压力锅真好用，这样的排骨汤30分钟内就搞定了。我们家的是老爷的奶奶留下来的，都快成古董了还是很好用。强烈推荐压力锅，能力范围内备一个呗。
