This nourishing Chinese pork bone soup is a traditional Cantonese-style comfort food made with simple, healing ingredients: pork bones, ginger, red dates, corn, and carrots.

Instructions
1 Optional blanch (for clear broth): Add pork bones to a pot, cover with water, and boil for 2–3 minutes. Drain, rinse bones, and rinse the pot. This removes impurities and creates a clean, clear broth. 2 Add pork bones, corn, carrots, ginger, red dates, and water to the Instant Pot. 3 Seal lid and set to High Pressure for 40 minutes. 4 Allow natural release for 15–20 minutes, then carefully release remaining pressure. 5 Season with salt to taste after cooking.View original recipe
