Finished product 4 Lotus root and dragon bone soup cooking techniques1. If you want more fat, the keel can be replaced with ribs or tube bones;
2. If you pay attention to drinking soup, put the lotus root in cold water. The nutrients and flavor will slowly seep into the soup. If you pay attention to eating lotus root, boil it before adding it to the pot. This can lock in the nutrition and flavor;
3. If you feel the taste is too dull, you can add two slices of ginger or some shredded kelp. I prefer a pureer taste;
4. Add salt and simmer for 30 minutes.The quality will also taste good;
5. Regarding pots, in addition to cast iron pots, you can also use clay pots or ceramic pots. It is not recommended to use pressure cookers. The soup must be simmered slowly to taste delicious. I like to use cast iron pots because it has better sealing than clay pots and can stew better. The amount will not be reduced much in the end. The serving picture in step 4 shows a bowl already installed and ready for taking pictures.
