Cooked a simple soup with lotus and raw peanuts the other day. I love the sweetness and fragrant the soup brings out. Coupled with carrot and dried squid, this soup is great to go with your rice.
Ingredients:
Raw peanuts, 200g, soaked and rinsed
1 lotus root, about 400g, sliced
Pork ribs, 1kg
1 carrot, sliced in smaller cube
1 dried squid, washed and sliced
Salt to taste
Method:
1. Blanch the pork ribs for about 10minutes
2. Fill up the slow cooker pot to half full.
3. Cook the raw peanuts for about 2 hours to soften it.
4. Add in all the other ingredients except salt. Cook for 1.5 hours.
5. Add salt and give the soup a stir after turn off the heat.
I used to cook this a lot, minus the carrot. Love it.
ReplyDeleteI love lotus root soup. I drank very often too , either outside or home cooked.

I would add a bit of meng ngee (dried cuttlefish) - gives it a special sweetness and taste. Very nice.
