2 pounds pork chops
water to cover
4 dried pitted dates
1 (2 inch) piece fresh ginger root, peeled
2 bunches fresh watercress
8 fried fish balls, or to taste
1 pinch salt to taste

Step 1
Place pork chops in a stockpot and pour in enough water to cover. Bring water to a boil. Remove from heat and rinse any residue on pork chops with cold water.

Step 2
Return pork chops to stockpot and pour in enough cold water to take up twice the space as the pork chops. Bring water to a boil; reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 3 hours.

Step 3
Place dates in a bowl and pour in enough water to cover; soak for 5 minutes. Drain.

Step 4
Stir dates and ginger into the stockpot; add watercress and fish balls and simmer for 10 minutes. Skim off any scum from the top of the soup; season with salt.
