Alternatively, u may opt for a more savory yet gentle variant that has been boiled for hours with lotus roots & pork ribs. The dried cuttlefish lends a memorable flavor while the peanuts adds a classic oriental touch. The lotus retains its crunchiness but not raw while the ribs are quite soft though I wish it could be more fork-tender. Chose either a bowl of pumpkin rice or plain rice to complete the meal. Very homely!
