3 pieces lotus roots (peel ,sliced and wash)
1 large piece pork in bone for soup ( not ribs) blanch to remove fats
1/2 cup pitted red dates (soaked and wash)
2 pieces candy dates (wash)
5-6 pieces dried cuttlefish (wash)
salt to taste
4 liter water
some cut scallion for garnishing
Method:
1:Blanch pork in bone to remove fats.I used pork in bone because it's lesser fats than ribs. You can ask the butcher to get pork in bone by telling him you want to make soup.Prepare a large stock pot (5 quart) with water at high heat.
2: Peel ,sliced and wash lotus roots,add into the stock pot with pork in bone,cover pot with lid. Let the soup boil with lotus roots and pork in bone for 30 minutes or longer,then add in red dates,candy dates,dried cuttlefish. Reduce heat to medium low,let's the soup simmer for another 1 hour or longer, until soup color changed to light red.(I prefer to cook the soup longer)
3:Add in salt to your taste,then boil for another 15 minutes before shut off the heat.
4: Dish out and sprinkle with some cut scallion before serve warm.

I love lotus root and pork soup but haven't had it for a while because the Asian store here doesn't carry lotus root, strange! :(
I just love this kind of soup. I am going down to Philly tomorrow. Going to get some pork ribs and lotus roots to make this soup :)
I just cook this soup @ http://jiachangcai.blogspot.com/2009/04/pork-rib-lotus-root-soup.html. I only be able to see two Lotus Root selling in Chatswood/Sydney. I grabbed one, not sure who will be the lucky one to get the last one.
