Lotus Root Soup Recipe
This past holiday season, I ate a lot, the truth is, way as well much. Following all individuals festive meals, heavy big-fish-big-meat (大鱼大肉) and crazy seafood consumptions, I crave for some thing incredibly easy, homey, and economicaland this lotus root soup came to my rescue…
Recently, when I was dining out at a Cantonese-style restaurant and had their every day soup (老火汤), I saw these dried honey dates (èœ枣) in the residue with the soup. Soon after a great deal asking around, I learned that this really is the secret ingredient that Cantonese cooks use when they make their soup. (Cantonese individuals, especially those in Hong Kong, are famed for stewing up extremely tasty soups.)
The secret ingredient sure didn’t disappoint. I’ve never produced such savory soup prior to. The taste on the pork ribs complimented the sweetness of these dried honey dates and also the end result was a incredibly light, pleasing, and refreshing soup that I just couldn’t stop sipping.
It’s time to take a break from fancy meals; it feels (and tastes) really excellent to be back towards the basics.
