Lotus Root Soup

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.
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:
- Using a vegetable peeler, remove the skin from the lotus root and cut to 1 cm slices.
- Blanch pork ribs in boiling water for about 5 minutes, rinse blanched pork pieces in water and set aside.
- 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.

Hi, can i cook this soup using rice cooker too? if can, the method will be the same?
First time trying out this and it turned out great! Crunchy peanuts! Yay~
Hi noobcook (but actually awesome cook),
Sorry for not addressing you by name because I’m don’t know your name. :)
I am kinda a fan and i often follow your recipes. I’m currently working in the US and making soup tmrw. I forgot to add peanut to the recipe after cooking the lotus root for two hours :(
Can I now add the peanut and cook for another hour? Will that work.
Thank you!
Regards,

Hey sorry for my late reply! Aww I hoped you added the peanuts, I love them crunchy anyway, if not there is always a next time. And thanks for your kind words ><
