Po Po sayswhy we make this
“The most family-friendly soup of the month. Sweet corn balances the savoury ribs, gentle on the stomach, and welcomed by every member of the household. Many Chinese postpartum nannies put this on the table from week one to remind a tired mother that food can be simple and good.”
