Daikon Soup with Pork Ribs (Thai Style) | ต้มจืดหัวไชเท้า
Daikon soup with pork ribs is a common dish in Thai households. It's very comforting, nourishing, and always takes me back to my mother's home cooking. The ingredients are very simple and takes just about 15 minutes to prep. Once you let everything simmer, you'll have this light soup with tender daikon radish and ribs falling off the bones in no time!
