1 white radish,peeled and cut cube
2 sweet corn ,cleaned and cut into 2 pieces
5-6 large red dates,pitted
3 candy dates,washed

salt to taste
3-4 liter water or more if needed

Method:

1:Wash and cut all the ingredients clean and set aside.Prepare a medium large stock pot with some water at high heat.When water rolling boil,place cut pork in bone in the pot for 5 minutes or until the lard and blood surface on the pot.
