Instructions

1
Prepare all the good ingredients, remove the hair from the pig tails, and chop them into small sections.
2
Clean the ingredients thoroughly, and soak the black beans for a little while.
3
Remove the pits from the red dates mainly to prevent them from causing too much internal heat.
4
Put the pig tail into cold water and bring it to a boil for 1 minute, then remove the pig tail, discard the scum and blood, and wash it clean for later use.
5
Put all the prepared ingredients in together with the ginger slices (you can add a little cooking wine according to personal preference), bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low heat and simmer for one and a half hours.
6
Add salt before taking it off the heat.

Don't mind that this soup looks dark; it is actually a great tonic for nourishing yin and strengthening the kidneys.
