I am very happy to answer this question:

Lotus root is rich in protein, vitamins and minerals, and is rich in nutrients. It is a very familiar and favorite ingredient. Lotus root has a crunchy, sweet and unique taste. It can be eaten cold, stewed, or stir-fried in various ways. It is a real home-cooked dish. It reminds me of a unique way of eating lotus root in Shandong. It is not just a cold dish, it also has a unique taste, crispy and delicious, and is very popular among locals. Hurry up and try it. I hope you all like it.

(1) When choosing lotus root, choose one with relatively thick, short and uniform joints, light yellow color and glossy color. Don’t choose the kind that is too thick and too long, which will not taste good, and of course it will be eaten cold. Choose nine-hole lotus root, and the lotus root holes should be larger, so that the taste will be crisper.

Take a large section of lotus root, peel it, cut it into large thick slices with three or four razor blades lengthwise, then cut it into long strips, then cut it into small rhombus-shaped pieces with an oblique blade, put it in a basin, add water and white vinegar (to prevent oxidation , the lotus root slices will be whiter) soak and wash twice. ? Add water to the pot, boil the water until it bubbles, put the lotus root pieces in, blanch for about a minute, the lotus root pieces become transparent, take them out and put them into cold water. After a few times of cold water, the lotus roots will become more crispy.

Put the lotus roots with controlled water into the pot again, lower the heat, add minced garlic first, then add a spoonful of very fresh rice vinegar, about two spoons, half a spoon of sugar, a little MSG, and a small amount of salt. , the most important thing is a spoonful of sesame paste (diluted with oil or water in advance), stir evenly, take it out of the pan and put it on a plate for later use.

(2) Cut the green onions in advance, soak them in cold water and put them in the refrigerator for ten minutes, then put the removed green onions (the curls look good, it is best to put them directly in ice water) on the lotus root, and cut the dried red peppers The segments are then cut into thin strips and placed on the lotus root for later use.

(3) Heat oil in a pot, add a small amount of Sichuan peppercorns and one star anise, heat until the oil is 70% warm, take out the Sichuan peppercorns and star anise, pour the hot oil on the shredded green onions and chili peppers, it is very delicious , I hope you all like it, please try it now.
