If you use ordinary pots and pans, you will need at least two hours to achieve the level of melt-in-your-mouth. If you want to shorten the cooking time, you can use a pressure cooker or electric pressure cooker. After the pressure cooker steams up and starts timing, you can turn off the fire after 30 minutes or so, and continue to simmer for about 20 minutes after the fire is turned off, which can make the ribs and lotus root soup more flavorful.
