Lotus pork rib soup

Since its a work from home day, decided to try out another soup receipe

Ingredients

500gm lotus root

200gm pork ribs

300gm chicken breast

150gm peanuts

6-8 red dates

Process

1. Wash the peanuts and put it in boiling water to soften the peanuts beforehand

2. Wash the pork ribs and chicken breast

3. Put them in a pot with tap water and boil it (this is to blanche the pork and chicken, remove gamey smell)

4. When water starts to boil, wait about 2 mins, before rinsing the meat with cool water

5. Prepare the lotus root. Wash clean and peel the skin of the lotus root. Cut them into irregular pieces of about 1cm thick (prepare this last as lotus root oxidises when exposed to air)

6. Place all ingredients into a soup pot with 1800 litres of water and bring the soup to a boil

Before the boiling begins

7. Once its starts to boil, wait for it to boil for about 3-5mins before turning down the fire to low-medium heat to shimmer for 2hrs

8. After 2 hours, you will have your lotus pork rib soup! Ta dahhhh!
