Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Wash the tender lotus roots and cut into thin slices about 1mm thick. Soak in water to wash off the starch and set aside (lotus roots used for cold dressing must be very tender for the best taste).

   

2. 2 Put an appropriate amount of water in a pot and bring to a boil to blanch the lotus root slices. The tender lotus root slices will be almost cooked after 30 seconds.

   

3. 3 Remove the blanched lotus root slices from the water and let cool until set aside.

   

4. 4 Crush the garlic, cut the pepper into rings, chop the green onions, salt, chicken essence, and white sesame seeds and put them into a small bowl and set aside.

   

5. 5 Heat an appropriate amount of cooking oil in the pot until it starts to smoke slightly, then turn off the heat, then add a spoonful of thirteen incense and mix it in a circular motion.

   

6. 6 Mix the cooked oil evenly and pour it into the raw material bowl while it is hot.

   

7. 7 Then add an appropriate amount of rice vinegar, sugar, light soy sauce, and a little oyster sauce according to your own taste.

   

8. 8 Pour the prepared sauce into the cooled lotus root slices and mix well.

   

9. 9 Tender and refreshing spicy and sour lotus root slices, a very suitable cold dish for summer.
