White lotus root is generally used in cold salad, because the color will not turn black. Red lotus root is generally used to make soup. Just remember that red lotus root is pink lotus root and white lotus root is crisp lotus root!

The method is also very simple: first peel the lotus root and wash it with water, and then cut it into slightly thicker pieces. Stir-fried lotus root should be cut thin, cold salad should be cut thick, so it tastes crisp, and then put the water in the pot to boil. When the water boils, add sliced lotus roots and cook in a pot. Generally, it is enough to cook lotus root until it becomes discolored and crystal clear. When the lotus root is cooked, it leaks out and bathes in cold water. Lotus root will taste crisp only if it is bathed in cold water.

Tip: When cutting lotus roots, be sure to remember not to cut them too thin. If it is too thin, the lotus root will not be brittle. One more thing, when buying lotus roots, you need to buy white lotus roots!
