Coconut, Snow Fungus & Pork Rib Soup

Why people make this soup

When the air gets dry in autumn and the skin starts to feel rough and tight, many families turn to a lightly sweet, nourishing soup to restore moisture from the inside out. This coconut and snow fungus combination has long been appreciated in Cantonese kitchens for keeping the lungs and skin comfortable during dry seasons. The small Indian coconut — intensely fragrant, with little or no water inside — makes a wonderfully aromatic soup base that pairs beautifully with snow fungus.
