Ingredients
Steps
-
Prepare the ingredients. I chose long sections of lotus root and peeled off the skin.
-
Prepare a basin of water, submerge the sliced lotus roots in the water, and add a spoonful of white vinegar to prevent the lotus root slices from turning black. I don’t have white rice vinegar at home, so I used salt instead, and the effect was average.
-
Boil water, blanch the lotus root slices for two to three minutes, take them out and ice them with cold water. Ready for use!
-
Let’s start making the sauce. This is my specialty. First add the sesame oil. You can decide how much to add according to your own preference. I always have a good grasp of the proportion.
-
Add more vinegar! It doesn’t matter if you put more, I like to be jealous
-
Then five spice powder, a spoonful of sugar, a spoonful of salt!
-
My favorite walnut oil is indispensable. For health maintenance in autumn, it is necessary to eat some good oil!
-
At this time, the lotus root slices can be taken out and placed in a large bowl. Top with the shredded green onions and minced garlic prepared in advance. Some people like shredded ginger, but it is a bit spicy for infants and young children, so they don't add it.
-
Spread the prepared sauce evenly into the bowl, stir evenly, and wait for a while to absorb the flavor!
-
It got dark after six o'clock, and the light was adjusted, so you can still see it. Needless to say, the taste is sour, sweet, green and fragrant. My baby ate half a plate of it haha.
