Lotus Root Soup Recipe

In this recipe, the peanuts will be slightly crunchy, so if you prefer soft peanuts, simmer the soup
for a bit longer.
Serves: 3

Prep Time: 10 mins

Cook Time: 50 mins
INGREDIENTS
2 sections (about 400g) lotus root wash to get rid of the soil
250g pork ribs
1.5 litres water
1 carrot peeled and cut to small chunks
6 dried scallops optional
1 dried cuttlefish optional
10 dried pitted red dates
100g de-shelled raw peanuts
salt to taste
DIRECTIONS
1. Using a vegetable peeler, remove the skin from the lotus root and cut to 1 cm slices.
2. Blanch pork ribs in boiling water for about 5 minutes, rinse blanched pork pieces in water and
set aside.
3. In a pot, add water, lotus roots and the rest of the ingredients except salt. Simmer for 40 minutes,
or until the pork is tender. For best results, keep warm in a thermal pot until ready to serve.
Season with salt.
