Stir-fried lotus root should be cut thinly, cold salad should be cut thickly, so it tastes crisp, and then the water in the clean pot should be boiled. After the water is boiled, add the chopped lotus root and cook in the pot. Generally speaking, it is enough to cook the lotus root until it becomes discolored and crystal clear.
