Yen Can Cook: Nagaimo Beetroot Pork Ribs Soup
The beetroot is the taproot portion of the beet plant, usually known in North America as the beet, also table beet, garden beet, or red or golden beet. Other than as a food, beets have use as a food coloring and as a medicinal plant.
Certain unique pigment antioxidants in the root as well as in its top-greens have been found to offer protection against coronary artery disease and stroke, lower cholesterol levels within the body, and have anti-aging effects.

1 Nagaimo
1 beetroot
1 carrot
300g pork ribs
Handful of red dates (de-seeded) & wolfberries (goji)
2500ml water

Ya, my mom like to pair nagaimo with lotus root 🙂
sounds like a healthy and tasty recipe … i like how you have huge chunks of nagaimo, carrot and beetroot in the bowl! 🙂
A happening bowl of soup indeed LOL
I’ve never made soup with these two ingredients. The nagaimo is a bit like white radish but sweet tasting like sengkuang?
The texture is not as soft as white radish after cooked but slightly powdery like potato.
Until now I still find it hard to accept beet root.hahaha
Why?? Because of the colours? since it doesn’t have any strong smell or taste.
