Lotus root and Spareribs Soup
(64708 views)
I grew up in a small town in the northwest of Hubei Province. Among the soups I drank since I was a child, there were more soups than chicken soup. This soup is stewed with farmhouse pork and lotus root dug from the local lotus pond. It's delicious. It's steaming. It can be made into rice. It can also be eaten directly by eating lotus root and meat. It gives people a strong sense of satisfaction and a long flavor. When I arrived in the capital, I often cooked it. However, the ingredients were quite different and the taste was not so mellow. In order to make a better soup of lotus root chops under the current conditions, I asked the chef (Executive Chef of five-star hotel). Under his guidance, I finally made a soup that was not satisfactory. I talked to him to relieve my greediness. Now, let's share the tips. Let's do it quickly.

Cooking Steps
Step1:Wash the spareribs and put them into cold water. Boil for about five minutes. Blanch the spareribs and wash them for later use.
Step2:Two parts of lotus root are peeled. Cut the hob. Pass the water. Remove the starch. Spare.
Step3:Spare ribs and lotus root pieces. Put them in the Dasha pot. Then put in the scallions, ginger slices, tangerine peel and pepper. Put in enough water at a time (don't add water in the middle of the way). Cover the pot. Open the fire and boil. Be careful not to boil over.
Step4:After the water is boiled, keep it medium to high heat. Cook for about 3040 minutes. Then change it to medium heat and stew for about 11.5 hours. The soup is good. Add some salt. There is no need to add chicken essence. The soup is already delicious.
Step5:Put it into the soup bowl. You can add onion and a little pepper (or not). Open it.
Cooking tips:1. The amount of ribs and lotus root is about one to one. But if you want to eat meat, you can put more ribs. You can also add some peanuts and cook them together (peanuts don't need to be soaked in advance). 2. The water in the soup should be fully added at one time. Do not add it in the middle of the process. For about two hours, one pot of water can be saved. At the end of the process, nearly half of the pot of soup can be saved. 3. Bring to boil in high heat, then simmer in medium high heat for about 40 minutes, and then simmer in medium heat until the soup is good. Keep in the state of full boiling all the time. It can stimulate the fresh flavor of the meat into the soup. The soup will be more fragrant. 4. The salt should be added after the soup is cooked. After the salt is put in, it can be boiled for a few minutes. The salt is put early. It is easy to tighten the meat. A dip plate can also be made to dip the meat. There are skills in making delicious dishes.
