- step 1 -

lotus root is peeled and cleaned, and then sliced into lotus root slices with uniform thickness. I usually cut into .3 cm thick.

For hanging paste, corn starch and flour need to be mixed, with a ratio of 3 to 7, and an egg is needed, so as to be crisp!

- step 3 -

Pour the corn starch and flour into a large bowl, add the right amount of salt, spiced powder and salt and pepper, and finally add the right amount of water and stir evenly to form a batter. The batter needs to be thick, so we only need a small amount of water.

Pour the sliced lotus root into the prepared batter, clamp it with chopsticks, and cover the front and back with batter.

- step 5 -

Pour oil into a hot pot. Frying lotus root slices requires more oil. When the oil is 6% hot, put the lotus root slices in the pot with chopsticks, turn them over with chopsticks after setting, and fry them until they become discolored. Then take them out.
