#lotus root and pork rib soup
Text
i find it funny but also kind of annoying when writers clearly don’t know how cooking works or haven’t bothered to look up the recipe of whatever food they’re referencing. so many times i’ve read a fic where jiang yanli makes a “vegetarian version” of the lotus and pork rib soup for lan wangji or makes the soup within a few hours (sometimes even only an hour!) which are all pretty much impossible feats.
the soup is made by boiling the pork ribs for LITERAL HOURS (i’m not joking. the soup is best when it’s been simmering for 12 hours at least) alongside the lotus root, aromatics, goji berries, ginger, etc. the reason the soup has any flavor at all is the pork ribs; without those, it would just be water with stuff floating in it. now, if the vegetarian version is just the soup without the pork then that’s one thing, but then does that count as vegetarian since the broth is meat based? i’m not sure what constitutes as vegetarian for the Lans; do bone broths count as eating meat? if they do, no wonder all the food in Cloud Recesses sucks so hard.
anyways, fic writers: before making offhand comments about food, look up the recipe and see how it’s made. food is deeply cultural and significant, both the product and the act of making it. jiang yanli’s soup is so important because it is a labor of love that takes time and effort to make, especially if she is making it from scratch by herself as we are led to assume. by reducing it to something that can be accommodated for other characters or something easier than it really is, you are inadvertently diminishing yanli’s act of love.

Okay friends of the MDZS/The Untamed fandom
If you've seen my previous post about making lotus root and pork rib soup, you know the journey I've been on. If you'd like to try making the soup yourself, a link to the recipe is toward the end of the OG post. That one got a little long with all the additions and extra advice from friends, but since I've made it again I'm reporting the results. Why I feel the need to do so is beyond me but this is the only genuine cooking I do and I deserve to be proud of every attempt, so if this annoys you, imagine these faces:
I will give a disclaimer that I had meant to make this soup a week and a half earlier but the mental illness was too strong, so yesterday I forced myself to push through the mental illness anyway so I wouldn't waste too many ingredients (we still wasted some 😔). So, alas, this soup had no ginger and half as much lotus root as desired, plus I forgot to read how much seaweed I was actually supposed to use (way less than what I used), and completely omitted the chopped scallion even though I had it ready because I just. Forgot to actually add it.
We carry on.
In all of my past versions of this soup, I didn't include the rehydrated seaweed. I was advised to give it a go this time and ...well. 😅
That bowl is a good 9 inches in diameter and 3 inches deep. And I took that photo AFTER adding a liberal amount of seaweed to the pot. Yes, I rehydrated the whole package. I didn't think about anything other than, "I'm finally adding the final step to this recipe I've been following!" and entirely missed that it only calls for 1 cup. [Hold on. Googling how long rehydrated seaweed be stored right now. OMG YOU CAN FREEZE IT THANK HEAVEN.]
This is me scooping out all the fuckin seaweed that entirely took over the soup 😅😅😅😅😅😅
Remember how I said there was half as much lotus root? Yeah, this is seaweed soup with a hint of pork now. Good luck finding any slices of lotus root.
I had also assumed that this seaweed would be salted (the packaging was NOT in English, but honestly I can't blame the label for this). I had certainly added what I thought was already a generous amount of salt but let's remind ourselves that I am barely a cook by any means. This girl doesn't know shit about how much salt should go into 12 quarts of water to add enough taste. I did go heavy on the goji berries though.
This resulted in the broth being mainly pork and goji berry water :/ if I'd had the motivation to go out and buy fresh ginger and remembered the scallion I'm sure it would've been better (and more salt obviously), but hopefully I'll be in better spirits next time I make an attempt. I learned a lot from this one.
The one thing I am proud of though?
Look at how clear that broth is. The oily bubbles are from the meat, and I also apologize I don't know if it's my phone's camera or my photography skills, but if it doesn't look clear to you I promise it does irl! I didn't use any of the cooking wine or soaking the meat with the ginger like @of-sevenseas suggested, but just by following the process in the recipe and making extra sure I washed the meat well this time, it seemed to work out!
Lessons learned:
Making soup while having a bad mental illness day is not a failed endeavor, but watch out.
Don't do this without ginger. What are you doing. That soup is wet stuff in hot water.
ADD MORE SALT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, YOU CANNOT BE THIS WHITE.
Read the recipe including measurements. Cooking is, of course, more improvisational than baking, but there's a reason we follow guidelines. Especially when we're rookies, still.
Next time we're gonna try the cooking wine and ginger thing with the meat. It sounds like an adventure.
Celebrate your wins!!!! I did have a success in this attempt!
I also did very well keeping the cat away from this whole 7 hour process, which is the greatest success of all.
(Obligatory kitty pic, since I mentioned her. Meet Lucy everyone. She's hiding under my blankets from the loud scary generator outside my window.)

jiang cheng made jin ling lotus root and pork rib soup when he was a baby and it's been jin ling's favorite food since.
the first time a-cheng made jin ling soup, he teared up before it turned into full on sobbing. baby jin ling started crying with him.
when jin ling grew older, jiang cheng decided to finally tell him and they both cried while eating lotus root and pork rib soup. just like the first time.

1. There's been many fics where wwx takes his revenge, or fights for himself and his place and there are people to support him in it. ITMF fics where someone takes revenge for wwx / fights for wwx.

I'm so happy to have been commissioned for this lovely zhuiling idea! In which JL tries to make pork rib & lotus root soup for SZ in a garden in Lanling. He's worried it won't be any good, but SZ will be the judge for that! ^^
Thank you again @nie-huaisangs-inner-thoughts !

The Untamed
Hearing this, he spat, "Fooling around again! Your sect leader, I, has already poured you a bowl and put it outside. Kneel for me to express your gratitude and go drinking your soup outside."
Wei Wuxian skipped outside before he turned around and came back, "What do you mean by this, Jiang Cheng? Where's the meat?"
Jiang Cheng, "Finished it. There're only lotus roots left. Don't eat them if you don't want to."
Wei Wuxian attacked with his elbow, "Spit out the meat!"
Jiang Cheng, "No objections. I'll spit them out and let's see if you'll eat them!"
Seeing that they started to argue again, Jiang Yanli quickly interrupted, "Okay, okay. How old are you two, fighting over some meat? I'll just make another jar..."
The lotus pork rib soup that Jiang Yanli made was Wei Wuxian's favorite.
Aside from how it was really delicious, it was also because he'd always recall what happened the first time, he had it.
[...]
Having stayed up for almost half of the night, the two had grown hungry as well. And so, Jiang Yanli went to the kitchen and busied herself for a while, standing on tiptoe. She warned up a bowl of lotus pork rib soup for each of them. The aroma wrapped itself around his heart, lingering.

I Want Some Of That Soup. I really hope that this was a case of the actors actually getting to eat really good fucking soup. Because with The Untamed the actors admitted that that pork rib and lotus root soup actually tasted terrible. And I was heartbroken to hear that, I wanted it to taste as good as it looked. Even if I can't eat it I at least want to imagine that it tasted amazing.

drop your lotus root and pork rib soup recipe? 👀
HEYO so i use this one but super emphasis on the soaking/blanching step cos thatll make your soup a hundred times better, i dont use goji berries or scallions (dont like goji berries, im allergic to alliums) but i do sometimes add additional stuff to the soup base depending on what i have and am in the mood for lol their suggestion to serve with light soy sauce is inspired

Fanon Petpeeve: Lotus Brained Wei Wuxian
Next up on my ever growing ilst of things I'm getting tired off seeing in fanfiction is the fanon is that Wei Wuxian wants to go back to Lotus Pier, that he never stops thinking about Lotus Pier, that Lotus Pier and the Jiangs are on his mind 24/7.
I see it most prominently in fics that are set in the Yiling Laozu days. Wei Wuxian regrets saving the Wens to some extent (they don't outright say that, but they always have paragraphs about how he misses doing certain things- or having certain things- with Jiang Cheng and Yanli that he can't do with the Wens now that he's a wanted criminal). Wei Wuxian will also bemoan his living conditions, but not for the fact that he's living in the burial mounds, he would feel that way in any place that wasn't lotus pier because lotuses! "Attempt the Impossible"! Lotus root and pork rib soup!
In these fics, his relationships with the Wens are thrown away, getting stuck in a protector watching over a set of cardboard figures type of situation. Wen Qing is the mean doctor who nags, doesn't listen to anything Wei Wuxian says cause he's "stupid", and will metaphorically ditch him to keep the rest of the remnants safe. The only thing Wen Ning knows how to say is "Young Master Wei" and is a brick wall until they need Qiongqi Path Part 2 to happen, then he's a sulking brick. And Wen Yuan and granny are there with the rest of the cardboard wens.
---
In fics that happen post ressurection, Wei Wuxian is made to be guilty over the events of his first life, constantly thinking about how he's wronged Jiang Cheng and the fall of Lotus Pier is his fault and Yanli's death was his fault and if only there was a way for him to make amends.
These fics also soften Jiang Cheng into the caring guy who only says but doesn't mean the harsh words he says. They even have a scene where he stabs Wei Wuxian (whether its a flashback to the siege or at Carp Tower) but it's okay cause he was crying while the blood stained his sword. Wei Wuxian is fine with being stabbed, good job little brother.
---
In post canon fics it's normally a short line, maybe a paragraph, about how living in the Cloud Recesses bogs down Wei Wuxian and if only he could visit the sun shining lotus pier with lotues and Jiang Cheng maybe he'd be able to feel something again. He misses Lotus Pier so much, he misses his home, he wants to go home sometimes!
