Fried lotus root box

Overview

Fried lotus root is a traditional snack in Shandong and Shanghai. It tastes crispy and tender, and the preparation is super simple

Two sections of lotus root, peeled and washed and set aside
Put the meat filling in a container and set aside
Chop the chives and put them in the container
Add minced fresh ginger as well
Mix well
Then add five spice powder, salt, chicken essence
Continue to stir evenly
Add cooking wine, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, stir evenly
Do not cut the lotus root in the middle, cut it into lotus root clips
Cut the lotus root clips and set aside
Fill the sliced lotus root clips with meat filling
Shared meat stuffing
This is a lotus root sandwich stuffed with meat filling
Flour, starch, five-spice powder (2 grams), 2 grams of chicken essence, and 5 grams of salt are put together with the flour
Add water and mix the noodles
Please note that this step is very critical. If you want to hang the noodles thickly on the lotus root clip, just look at the chopstick head. Lift the chopstick head up. Do you see it? As shown in the picture, as much as you can hang on the chopstick head, you can also hang on the lotus root clip. If you want a thin layer of flour on the lotus root clip, put more water. If you want the flour on the lotus root clip to be thick, put less water. Because I like to eat noodles with less hanging noodles, so it is a thin layer like the one in the picture
After the batter is ready, put the lotus root clips in
Turn it over
Coat the batter evenly
Heat the oil in the pot and put it into the pot
Wait until the lotus root clips turn yellow
This way it’s ready to be cooked
