Lotus root clip

Overview

I'm from northern Jiangsu. When I was a kid, one of the dishes I always cooked at home during the Chinese New Year was lotus root clips, which appeared on almost every household's dining table. Lotus root sandwich is also a big dish in my hometown. Usually every time I make lotus root clips at home, I make a lot of them. Because even if you make too many lotus root clips, they are easy to store. And there are many ways to eat lotus root clips. When I was a child, every time my father was making lotus root clippers at home, I would be there to help in name, but actually eat them secretly. The fried lotus root clips are delicious. Now that I have grown up, my husband and I live in Hefei for work reasons. Occasionally I only go home during the New Year and holidays. It’s rare to see lotus root clips for sale here in Hefei. Fortunately, I love to eat and can cook. My husband has been craving lotus root clips for the past two days. Just take advantage of Saturday to cook something for him to try.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Chop the pork into mince, add onions, ginger and eggs, stir clockwise in one direction

   

2. 2 Add appropriate amount of cooking wine, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, salt, sugar, Sichuan pepper powder, pepper, chicken essence, and appropriate amount of sesame oil, and stir vigorously. Wash the lotus root and slice it. When slicing, be careful not to cut it with the first knife. There is still a connection at the bottom. Cut it with the second knife

   

3. 3 Stuff the minced meat into the lotus root slices so that every hole in the lotus root slices is filled with minced meat. Add water to flour and make a batter. Put the lotus root clips into the batter and hang the frosting. Heat the oil pan to 80% heat and fry over medium heat.

   

4. 4 The fried lotus root clips can be eaten plain, sprinkled with salt and pepper, or made into sweet, sour, or ketchup-flavored sauces and evenly wrapped around the crispy lotus root clips.

   

5. 5 If you make too much at one time, you can wait for the lotus root clips to cool down and put them in the refrigerator to be eaten again. The recooked lotus root clips are crispier.
