Lotus Root Soup, with pig's tail and peanut

My hubby just loves this, so i boil it at least once a month. For health reason, we sometimes opt for lean pork ribs which is just as tasty. Sometimes, to add to taste, i may include some dried cuttle fish to taste. I am sure you will enjoy this, best taken warm. Brought to you specially from nyonya kitchen stories.

Ingredients
1 pig's tail, cut into pieces (or pork ribs)
150g peanuts, soaked for 2 hours
200g lotus root, cut into think slices
1000ml boiling water
salt to taste

Method
1. Blanch pig's tail in boiling water for a short while. Remove and clean. Cook peanuts in hot water for 2 mins. Dish and drain.
2. Place all ingredients into a double-boiler. Double-boil at high heat for 3 hours. Add salt and taste. Serve warm.

Serves: 4
