Gobo with Spare Ribs Soup

A few years ago, I don't ever remember seeing this roots being sold in our markets. However, gobo has make its way into our markets recently after the cheaper version was being imported from China. Gobo is one of Japanese food and it was said to have plenty of nutrients. And if you have notice, the Chinese herbalists have been using this particular root as a type of herbal called niúpángzi.

I did not know about this particular root until about 2 or 3 years back when my mom introduced it to me. I find the taste is very clear and fragrant. Great news to all breastfeeding mommies, I've just found out gobo is a type of food that helps with lactation!
