Fried lotus root sandwich

Overview

Fried lotus root clips, a well-known home-cooked dish, are crispy, salty and delicious.

Add rice wine, ginger powder, light soy sauce, and dark soy sauce to the pork filling and mix well. Add water in batches and mix well. Each time the water is completely absorbed, add the next one until the meat filling absorbs enough water. Use chopsticks to stir vigorously in the same direction until it becomes gelatin. Add salt to taste. Add salad oil, sesame oil, and chopped green onion and mix well.
Clean and peel the lotus root section.
Cut the lotus root into two connected pieces of even thickness. Do not cut off the first piece. Cut off the second piece and connect the two pieces with even thickness at the bottom.
Mix glutinous rice flour and flour, add water to make a batter, use chopsticks to stir it up easily and cleanly, add salt, thirteen spices, and pepper powder to taste. Fill the lotus root clips with appropriate amount of meat filling and press firmly.
Put the lotus root clips into the batter and coat evenly with the batter.
Heat the wok and add an appropriate amount of salad oil. Heat the oil until it is 70% hot. Add the lotus root clips one by one and fry until one side of the lotus root clips is golden brown, then turn over until both sides are golden brown.
Remove the fried lotus root from the oil and remove it.
