Lotus Root Soup with Peanuts | Ling Ngau Tong | 莲藕汤 [Nyonya Cooking]
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
This is another variation of “lou foh tong”, meaning slow-cooked Chinese soup. Lotus root soup is common among the Chinese community and a must have during Chinese New Year for its auspicious significance.
www.nyonyacooking.com/recipes...
Lotus root soup can be taken any time of the year but this slow-cooked Chinese soup is commonly served during Chinese New Year for its auspicious significance. Lotus roots signify abundance while peanuts signify wealth. Put together, this soup literally means prosperity in abundance every year.
Remove skin from the lotus shoots and throughly clean them before cooking. This is a very flavourful and refreshing soup to go with meals.
If you do not have dried squid, skip it. As for the base, pork is often used but you can substitute with chicken meat or anchovies.

Thank you for sharing the peanut and lotus root soup. I tried it and it turned out very well I must say. I would like to ask you if you have the recipe for 'Hong bak' (Nyonya style).
Pre soak the peanuts in water for a few hours, it removes most of the reddish color the skin of the peanuts gives off when cooking. Another is to braise (slow boil) the peanuts first for a few hours if you like them soft. Hard boiling never seems to soften the peanuts. These are both depending on personal preference, not necessary if you like the peanuts with a bite and like the reddish color of the soup.

Boil the peanuts in a separate pot with half teaspoon of baking soda for half hour. Rinse and then add the peanuts to your soup pot.

WOW you're very smart to use dried squid for this soup, it really adds to the soup giving off a more umami fresh flavour. Though I use dried octopus.

Ehh hubbeh, why telephone soup?? Ahhh...coz of the holes on the lotus roots?? Cute..lol.
It would be easy to peel off the skin from the lotus root using a peeler BEFORE slicing them. I normally slice the lotus roots no more than 2mm thick. Cook faster this way. Also easier to chew them, especially for older folks.
Please share more soup recipes, my daughter loves chinese soups! Thanks!

Hello, I've attempted to cook peanut soup or peanut porridge 3 times and failed. I looked through recipes and it did not mention using a pressure cooker and since I don't own one I followed it. I soaked overnight for more than 10 hours.. and boiled for more than 5 hours and yet the peanut is still crunchy.. I'm not sure why is it so.. I can never get the peanut soft.. am I using the wrong peanuts? I've asked around and none of my friends or family knows how to do it. If they did they probably used canned peanuts which are already cooked which I'm trying to avoid. Hope you have a pointer or solution for me...
The video sound is pretty good, beyond my imagination
Thanks a bunch for reminding me of this great recipe. Forgot all about it since my childhood and early teen years. Growing up in M'sia, my maternal Cantonese side of the family from Ipoh used to cook this dish. Like your side of the globe it is also freezing here in Northern California. This recipe really comes in handy. Will definitely cook Ling Ngau Tong as soon as I get my hands on the needed ingredients. Have already tried a couple of your recipes...steamed tofu with minced meat, steamed fish, and pickled chili. Simply delicious. Terima kaseh. And, Happy Chinese New Year! Love your background pipa(?) music Mo Li Hua.

How to clean the lotus root?
🤗🤗🤗😋😋😋
looks nice. so the purpose of the boiling water is to remove the fat from the pork ribs, right? If I use chicken, is it also possible to soak the chicken in boiling water? I also find using a vegetable peeler to peel the lotus root including its black skin on the peeled lotus root then cutting it into slices easily. can my tips also work for this recipe?
@plauditecives
7 жыл бұрын
I think you can blanch most meats to remove fat. I'd not cook it long, as you don't want to make it tough or remove a lot of its flavour. As you can see from the video, it's quick enough that some residual fat does remain, as you can see it on the top of the soup. I think a veg peeler works fine for lotus root. I usually soak in acidulated water so the slices don't darken.
what does lotus roots taste? I wonder if sentul(kecapi) rind could be a substitute?

Hmmm....it tastes like raddish? Something similar but harder than radish. I haven't tried kecapi but it doesn't look like it could substitute lotus roots. >

ilotus root should be added to cold water to boil in order not to have a very dar coloured soup. and peanuts had to be soak too before putting in the soup. if can, try to remove some of the peanutskin too before adding to the pot. this will enhance the appearance of soup and more clear soup for those who do not like very concentrated soup.
