Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Peel the lotus roots first. For cold or stir-fried lotus roots, choose the top section of the lotus root, because the top section is the newest lotus root grown that year and has a very crisp and sweet texture without any residue. If it is lotus root stewed with meat, choose the two sections at the back of the middle. This kind of lotus root tastes more floury and sweet.

   

2. 2 After peeling, cut the lotus root into thin slices. The thinner the lotus root slices are, the easier it is to taste and not easy to break. After cutting, wash the lotus root slices in cold water.

   

3. 3 Pour water into the pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the lotus root slices and blanch them for half a minute. When you see the lotus root slices change color, take them out immediately. Do not blanch the lotus root slices for too long.

   

4. 4 Put it into cold water immediately after taking it out. You can run it once or twice according to your preference.

   

5. 5 Then filter the water, add 2 spoons of white sugar, 2 spoons of cold vinegar, 2 spoons of sesame oil, and half a spoon of salt. Shake the small pot a few times to evenly coat the lotus root slices with the seasoning. Marinate for a while and you are ready to eat!
