Why Canadian Pork Spare Ribs Make the Best ABC Soup in Singapore
The Singapore Home-Cooking Classic
ABC soup (also written as "A.B.C. soup") is one of Singapore's most-loved home-style soups — a clear, nourishing broth made from American corn, Brilliant carrots, and pork ribs (or sometimes potato). It's the soup mums make on weeknights, the soup grandparents recommend for "cooling" the body, and the comfort food Singaporeans grew up on.
What Makes Our Ribs Different
Most pork ribs available in Singapore are frozen and have a strong porky aroma that overpowers the delicate sweetness of an ABC soup. Our Canadian spare ribs are airflown chilled — never frozen, so the natural sweetness of the pork comes through cleanly. The result: a clear, golden broth with sweet corn-and-carrot notes and meat that's tender enough to fall off the bone with chopsticks.
The Simple ABC Soup Recipe
- 500g Canadian pork spare ribs (1 pack)
- 2 sweet corn cobs, cut into 4cm chunks
- 2 large carrots, peeled and roughly chopped
- 1 tomato (optional, for natural sweetness)
- 2 litres water, salt to taste
Blanch the ribs briefly to remove scum, then simmer everything together for 90 minutes on low heat. Season with salt only at the end. That's it — restaurant-quality ABC soup at home with zero seasonings or stock cubes.
Beyond ABC Soup
These ribs are equally at home in:
- Cantonese herbal soup — with watercress, dried scallops, or Chinese herbs
- Sweet & sour ribs (糖醋排骨) — pan-fried then glazed
- Char siu pork ribs — marinated overnight, roasted at 180°C
- BBQ ribs — slow-cooked then finished on the grill
- Braised pork ribs (红烧排骨) — soy, rock sugar, star anise
Cooking Methods
Best for ABC soup (90 min simmer), Cantonese herbal soup (2-hour simmer), sweet & sour ribs, braising, baking at 160°C for 2 hours, BBQ low and slow.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is ABC soup and why are pork ribs the best meat for it?
ABC soup is a Singapore home-style soup of corn, carrot, and pork ribs simmered together — A for American corn, B for brilliant carrots, C for the pork ribs that give the broth its body. Pork spare ribs are ideal because the bones release collagen and the meat tenderises beautifully over a 90-minute simmer, creating a clear, naturally sweet broth without needing stock or MSG.
How do I cook ABC soup with these ribs?
Blanch the ribs in boiling water for 2 minutes (removes scum), drain, then add to fresh water with 2 sweet corn cobs, 2 carrots, and an optional tomato. Simmer on low for 90 minutes. Season with salt only at the end. Serves 4.
Why are these ribs better than frozen pork ribs?
Frozen pork has a stronger porky smell that overpowers delicate soups like ABC soup. Our Canadian ribs are airflown chilled and never frozen — the texture is firmer, the flavour is cleaner, and the broth comes out clear instead of cloudy.
How many servings is one 500g pack?
One 500g pack of Canadian pork spare ribs makes a 2-litre pot of ABC soup that serves 4 as a starter or 3 as a main soup course with rice.
Can I use these ribs for char siu or sweet & sour ribs?
Absolutely. The clean flavour and tender texture make them a versatile cut. For char siu pork ribs: marinate overnight in char siu sauce, roast at 180°C for 35 minutes. For sweet & sour ribs: pan-fry until golden, then glaze with a sauce of black vinegar, sugar, and soy.
How should I store the ribs once they arrive?
Keep refrigerated at 0–4°C and use within 2–3 days for best flavour. For longer storage, freeze at -18°C and use within 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before cooking.
