Dried ficus root — 五指毛桃 (Wǔ Zhǐ Máo Táo), commonly known as five-fingered peach root — is a dried root ingredient well established in Cantonese soup cooking. It is prized for its distinctive mild, coconut-like aromatic fragrance, which gives soups and broths a subtle depth of flavour. Five-fingered peach root is one of the classic ingredients in Cantonese soups, pairing naturally with pork ribs, chicken and a range of other Chinese soup ingredients.
