Braised pork ribs with lotus root and water chestnut
My son likes to braise, such as ribs and shrimp. If you ask him, he will specify that he wants to braise. But this kid doesn't touch a little bit of fat, so he only eats pork ribs, tenderloin, large ribs, etc., and only lean meat. It's too monotonous to cook too much lean meat just by braising, so I added some vegetables to enrich it. The vegetables inside absorb the pork ribs juice and are very delicious.
