With the ingredient shown above, there are some missing ones as well:

i) it's a full bowl of peanuts
ii) a garlic (peeled)

How I cook this time is also different, because I'm sort of in rush:

1) The half pot of water was first boiled (with medium fire)
2) Pour in the pork ribs
3) Cook for another 10-15 minutes (this is to let the water filled with the meat's essence, so to say)
4) Pour the rest of the ingredients (garlic, pitted red date and peanuts)
5) Cook with medium fire for the next 30 minutes
6) Cook with small fire for the next 2 hours 30 minutes
7) Put 1.5 tea spoons of salt, 2 table spoon of soy sauce & 2 table spoon of fish sauce
8) Cook until the soup boils

Et voila!

I'll tell the result later this evening. :-) Gotta go now.
