Lotus Soup cooked my mom's way

Ingredients:
Pork Ribs
Raw peanuts
Dried cuttlefish
Lotus roots sliced
Dried Scallop
Water

Sorry there is no amount stated,the truth is I cannot remember,i played a start-stop game with Caleb and started pouring in the ingredients until he said STOP!

HAHA,just kidding of course!

But i really cannot remember the amount,its guesstimation!If you are keen on the soup i will make it again and measure amount this time round!

@alivio: hi!I throw everything into pot and boil over low fire for 45 minutes.If you want,you can boil even longer.just that soup may dry up so i didnt try longer:)
