Abalone Calming Soup with Dendrobium and Lotus Seeds

Notes from Nourishible editors

Written by our recipe team from the video and the method above.

• Technique · Step 1: Blanching the pork first removes the scum and blood that would otherwise cloud the broth, so the soup stays clear.
• Technique · Step 3: Keep the heat low for the whole 1.5 hours; a hard boil churns fat and protein into the liquid and turns the broth cloudy.
