Notes
- Cooking tips for making lotus root and pork soup:
- First, wash and peel lotus roots.
- Then, cut them about ¼ inch thick.
- Some people like to boil pork bones to remove excess blood and fat before making soup. However, I just wash and rinse the pork bones with hot water because it is easier. After that, I use a skimmer to remove fat when the soup is done.
- Also, if you use the top stove method, just add 2 more cups of water and simmer for around 2 hours.
