Choose pork knuckle or spare ribs. To ensure the soup is rich in vitamins, fiber, and fat, a bit of ribs is recommended.
Clean the ribs and boil a pot of water. When the water boils, add the ribs and blanch for about 2-3 minutes. Then remove and rinse thoroughly. To dry the ribs, marinate with 1 teaspoon of fish sauce and ½ teaspoon of soup powder. Mix well to let the ribs absorb the seasoning for about 15 minutes.

Tips: When blanching the ribs, add a handful of salt and do not cover. Doing so helps to evaporate impurities from the ribs.
- Peel and finely chop the dried shallots and garlic.
- Trim and wash the scallions, discard old leaves, cut off the roots, and chop finely.
Step 2: Cooking Pumpkin Bone Soup
Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a pot. When the oil is hot, add the chopped shallots and garlic, sauté until fragrant. Add the ribs and stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until the ribs are firm. Pour water into the pot to cook the soup.

Note: Adjust the amount of water according to the number of servings.
When the soup boils, skim off the foam. Then reduce the heat and simmer the ribs for about 15 minutes to soften them.
Once the ribs are tender, add the pumpkin and increase the heat to bring the soup back to a boil. Season to taste and reduce the heat. Cook for an additional 8-10 minutes until the pumpkin is tender.
