Kudzu Root with Black-eyed Pea Soup 粉葛眉豆汤

I love its musty taste. Both my husband and son say that it looks and tastes like lotus root soup. This soup is said to have cooling effect and clears toxic materials. On top of that, medical research has found that kudzu root has anti-cancer and estrogen-like effects, which can be used as natural breast enhancer and beauty product that helps look younger, especially for middle-aged women and postmenopausal women. So much goodness of it and that’s the reason that I have to cook this soup more often.

Here is the recipe.

Pong Towhu (Beancurd Prawn Pork Meatball Soup)

I am inspired by Wee Eng Hwa’s cookbook -“Cooking for the President”. According to the book, this dish was one of the Wee’s family Chinese New Year Eve family reunion dinner. Moreover, Fullerton Hitel collaborated with Ms Wee to sell this dish @ $68. I prepared this Pong Towhu for my family’s Chinese New Year dinner meal. When I first tried the meatball, I thought it was quite bland. When I ate it with fish maw and soup and dipped with chilli sauce, it was great. My son loves this dish because the meatball was very soft.
