Refreshing prime pork ribs soup with sliced lotus.
Fresh Lotus Roots are crunchy and has a mild taste.
During boiling with ingredients the flavour will absorbed into the lotus roots.
When choosing lotus roots, make sure the roots are firm. I prefer those covered with mud as they are grown deep in the soil of pond.
Just brush and wash off with tap water before peeling and cutting.
Lotus roots is a good pairing with pork ribs.
Blanched the prime pork ribs in a saucepan to remove impurities.
Remove and set aside.
Peel and cut lotus roots into slices.
Add the main ingredients into a pot together with red dates and dried scallops.
Ensure all ingredients are submerge in the pot with additional water level while boiling.
Bring to a boil and simmer on low heat for at least two hours until the pork ribs are tender.
