Glass Noodles: 2 oz (about 50g). These are typically made from sweet potato starch and are called fentiao. They become wonderfully chewy and translucent when cooked. You can find them in the international aisle of most large supermarkets or at an Asian grocery store. Substitution: If you can’t find them, you can omit them or use thick rice vermicelli.

The key is to find good quality pork ribs and fresh, crisp green beans. Here’s a full list of what you’ll need, along with some tips and easy substitutions for a Western kitchen. For the Marinade: Pork Ribs: 400g (about 0.9 lbs), cut into small, bite-sized pieces. You can ask your butcher to do this for you. Pork riblets or St. Louis-style ribs cut into individual bones work perfectly. Cornstarch: 1 tablespoon. This is the secret to tenderizing the pork and creating a velvety coating. Light Soy Sauce: 1 tablespoon. Use a low-sodium version if you prefer. This is different from dark soy sauce; it’s saltier and less thick. For the Main Dish: Green Beans: 500g (about 1.1 lbs). The original recipe uses “knife beans” (刀豆), which are a type of flat, broad green bean. Standard string beans or flat Italian green beans are excellent and widely available substitutes. Garlic: 2 cloves, thinly sliced. Oyster Sauce: 1 tablespoon. This adds a…

The beauty of this soup is its simple, fresh ingredients. If you can’t find something, don’t worry—I’ve included some easy-to-find alternatives. Ingredients: Pork Ribs: About 2 lbs (or 3 small racks), cut into 2-inch pieces. Your local butcher can do this for you. Ask for pork spare ribs. Corn: 1 large cob, shucked and cut into 1-inch thick rounds or “wheels.” Chinese Yam (Shanyao): 1 medium piece, about 1 foot long. This root vegetable has a brownish peel and is starchy and slightly sweet when cooked. You can find it at most Asian markets. Substitution: If you can’t find it, taro is a great alternative. In a pinch, a large, starchy potato like a Russet will also work, though the texture will be slightly different. A quick tip: Chinese yam can be slippery once peeled, so you might want to wear gloves while handling it. Carrots: 2 medium, peeled and cut into bite-sized chunks. Dried Red Dates (Jujubes): A small handful (about 8-10). These add a subtle, complex sweetness to the broth….

Kimchi: About 1.5 cups of mature kimchi, roughly chopped. Mature, or “sour,” kimchi works best here as its tangy, fermented flavor is more pronounced and creates a deeper tasting broth. You can find kimchi in the refrigerated section of most large supermarkets or at any Asian grocery store. Be sure to save the juice from the jar—it’s liquid gold! Onion: 1 medium yellow or white onion. Cooking Oil: 2 tablespoons of peanut oil. If you don’t have peanut oil or have an…
