Peanut Root Soup 花生根增高汤

Have you ever heard of peanut root soup? Old folks believe that regular consumption of this soup can help growing kids grow taller. 

I do believe that a person's height is very much of the genetics, the rest is due to environmental factors and lifestyle choices. Whether or not this soup is effective in boosting the child's growth, this soup is nutritious, nourishing and known to be strengthening the overall health. So, there's no harm in adding this to your home-cooking menu.

Peanut roots are available at local wet markets. When you buy fresh peanut roots from the wet market, it comes in a big bunch of 1kg or more which is too much for one-time usage. To avoid wastage, you can clean the peanut roots and dehydrate the roots to extend the shelf life.

Method:

1. Add all ingredients (except wolfberries and salt) into a pot. 

2. Leftover peanut roots for later use: dehydrate 6-8 hours. Keep in an air-tight container. I usually do this at night and "harvest" the dried food the next morning. Made using Ninja Indoor Grill, it can be purchased from Ninja Kitchen Official Website.
