Lotus Root Sweet Soup 莲藕羹

This post marked the 700 recipes that I have tried and tested since 2013.   I actually felt good that I am able to persevere during these 4 years going 5.  Unlike my old blog which documents my parenthood and kitchen experience, this blog focuses really on my kitchen experience and happy things.

Currently, I am experiencing some issues with me not being able to link all these recipes onto my FB page as well as on Instagram I have sought google to look into it and I do hope that I will not have to shut down this blog.

I am also finding time to repost those photos that I have lost due to Photobucket in my old blog.  It is really a lot of work to be done, considering that I have blogged for 7 years over there.  If you need clarification on those, give me a buzz.

In the meantime, I shall not sweat over that.

I have not made Lotus Root Sweet Soup 莲藕羹 for many years.  Recently, I heard many are suffering from prolonged coughs.

So happy that I saw some fresh-looking lotus roots in the market and bought one home to make this.

Lotus Root is known to nourish the lungs so it will be good if you have been coughing badly.

What you need:

4 segment of lotus root.  Scrub clean and remove skin.
Rock sugar to taste
1 cup water

Method:

Cut lotus root into small chunks.

Add into a blender with one cup of water.  Blitz until very fine.

Strain through a muslin bag.

Divide into 3 bowls and steam for 30 mins.

Serve hot.



Cheers!
