Steps （5 steps）
Place ribs in cold water with ginger slices and 1 tbsp cooking wine. Bring to a boil over high heat, skim off foam, blanch for 3 minutes, then rinse with warm water.
Put blanched ribs, corn, carrot, dates, ginger, and scallion knot into the clay pot. Add enough water to submerge ingredients by 2-3 cm.
Cover the pot, bring to a boil over high heat, then immediately reduce to low heat. Simmer gently for 60 minutes without opening the lid.
After 60 minutes, remove the lid, discard the scallion knot, sprinkle in rinsed goji berries, re-cover and simmer for another 10 minutes.
Turn off the heat, season with salt to taste, stir gently, then cover and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Tips
Blanch ribs starting with cold water for better removal of impurities; low heat simmering keeps the broth clear and flavorful; add salt at the end to preserve sweetness; clay pot retains heat well, allowing flavors to meld after turning off the heat.
