Papaya and Lotus Seed Carp Soup

Soak 20 grams each of lotus seeds and black-eyed peas in clean water in advance

Make sure to scrape out the black membrane inside the crucian carp's belly, then use a kitchen paper towel to absorb the moisture.

Choose a papaya that is not very ripe, peel it and remove the seeds, then cut it into chunks.

Add oil to the pan and heat it, then put in the crucian carp and fry until both sides are slightly yellow.

In order to avoid having fish bones in the prepared soup, the pan-fried fish is placed into a soup bag. Put it in the soup pot and add an appropriate amount of water.

Pour the soaked lotus seeds and black-eyed peas into the pot

Then add papaya and slices of ginger

Cover the pot, bring the water to a boil over high heat, then simmer over medium-low heat for an hour and a half, and finally add salt to taste.
