Oh! I haven't posted for a long time! Recently, because the deadline for new books is approaching, I am busy from morning till night every day. Fortunately, KT's parents are rescue forces, and they specially flew from Taiwan Province Province to help take care of two Mimi, so that I can concentrate on the progress every day, which probably coincides with the spring flower season in the United States, and my body and mind are too tired. Sometimes I wake up in the morning swollen like an owl because of allergies, and my nose is swollen to the same extent as my eyes, which looks like an embarrassing face.
Apart from allergy medicine, I am allergic and get angry easily. I can only eat some light warm soup. Yam and lotus seed ribs soup has the effect of calming the nerves and invigorating qi, especially yam and lotus seed, which are excellent supplements in the eyes of Chinese medicine.
There is another trick you have to know when cooking lotus seeds, that is, dry lotus seeds must not be soaked in cold water before cooking, otherwise the lotus seeds will bounce off like marbles until they are cooked forever. Because the calcium ion in cold water is easy to form calcium oleate with the fruit acid of lotus seeds, which makes the lotus seeds hard, so the lotus seeds are washed and boiled for 20 minutes after the soup is boiled.
Boil on high fire 10 minute, and then simmer on medium fire for 20 minutes. The soup is milky white, which combines the sweet essence of yam, lotus seeds and ribs. Yam and lotus seeds taste soft, tender and sweet, and the fat and smooth ribs are memorable. It is a healthy soup that I still want, and it also relieves my nervous mood a little. My heart is full of satisfaction!
Material rib ... 1 kg (600g)
Chinese yam ... half a root (about 300 grams)
Lotus seeds ... 1/2 cups
2 tablespoons of wine.
Water ... 8 cups.
Salt ... right amount.
Exercise 1. Wash the ribs with boiling water, put them in boiling water with lotus seeds and cook for 10 minute, then turn to medium heat and continue cooking for 10 minute.

Katie's delicious secret 1. Lotus seeds should not be stewed in cold water, because calcium ions in cold water are easy to form pectin calcium with fruit acid, which makes lotus seeds hard.
2. American pigs have a strong taste, so I buy organic black pigs from Japanese supermarkets or Wholefoods, and the taste is relatively light.
