Instant Pot Chinese Pork Rib, Red Date & Papaya Soup

1 Blanch the pork ribs: Blanching gives you a clear, clean-tasting broth. Just boil pork ribs for 3–5 minutes, rinse under cold water, and set aside.
2 Add everything to the Instant Pot: Place pork ribs, red dates, ginger slices and papaya chunks. Pour in 6 cups of water.
3 Pressure cook: Set the Instant Pot to Manual / High Pressure for 30 minutes.
4 Natural release: Let the pressure naturally release for 10–15 minutes. Open the lid carefully.
5 Season and serve: Add salt to taste. The soup is ready when the pork ribs are fall-off-the-bone tender and the broth is slightly sweet and golden from the papaya and dates.
