Step 2: Bring water to a boil in a pot, blanch the pork ribs for 5 minutes, add ginger, garlic, and green onions, and cooking wine to remove the smell.
Step 3: Pour oil into the pot and fry ginger, garlic, and green onions until fragrant.
Step 4: Pour in the pork ribs and pan-fry until slightly browned on both sides.
Step 5: Pour in boiling water, add red dates, a spoonful of cooking wine, a pinch of pepper, and boil over high heat for 10 minutes; then switch to medium-low heat and simmer for 40 minutes, or transfer to a pressure cooker and stew for 20 minutes. (The secret to a creamy and rich soup color lies in using boiling water and boiling over high heat for 10 minutes).
Step 6: Spread corn and carrots at the bottom of a casserole pot.
Step 7: Pour in the cooked pork ribs and soup.
