Four-Ingredient Pork Bone Soup

Method

1. 01

   Step 1

   Prepare the ingredients

   

2. 02

   Step 2

   Wash the lotus seeds, fox nuts, and poria cocos thoroughly. Fox nuts and poria cocos are not easy to cook, so it is best to soak them in warm water for two hours beforehand.

   Step 3

   Chop the yam and corn into chunks. It's best to wear gloves when peeling the yam. If your hands itch after handling the yam, you can wash them with hot water or use a hairdryer to blow hot air on them. This is because the itchy component in yam is called saponin, which is not heat-resistant and will decompose when heated.
