Lotus root can be cooked in a variety of ways, such as stir-frying, sauce burning, soup cooking, cold salad and stuffing to make jiaozi. Either way, lotus root tastes crisp and sweet, but my personal favorite is fried! Stir-fried lotus root clip is a kind of delicious food in Hubei and a very traditional snack in China.

Fried lotus root clip is a delicious food that no one can resist. Although everyone loves it, not everyone can do it. It looks simple, but it's a bit difficult to do. The whole production process takes about 45 minutes, but the lotus root clip made in the end is very crispy and delicious, and the meat inside is crispy!

Let's see how fried lotus root clips are made!

Step 1: Wash the lotus root, peel it, smear it with salt, and let it stand for 30 minutes. At this time, the lotus root will be soft and convenient for cutting stuffing.

Step 2, cut the lotus root clip 3/5 deep, cut it with a second knife to form a clip, and then cut it in turn. Remember to slice when slicing! Cut! Cut! It is important to say it three times, so that the lotus root clip can be thin, stuffed and crisp!

Step 3, add flour and salt to a large bowl, and add water to make a thick paste that can flow.

Step 4: Mix the stuffing. Add minced onion and ginger, salt, sugar, cooking wine, chicken essence, soy sauce, pepper and a little salad oil into the meat stuffing and stir well. Add a little water and stir clockwise. Then let the mixed stuffing stand for 10 minute.

Step five, put meat stuffing in each lotus root folder and hang it up. Then fry in a pan until the oil is slightly wider. When the pan is bubbling, turn to low heat and fry. Turn it over when the color changes. Remove the golden color with a colander and turn off the heat. After 5 minutes, fire again and fry again. Time should be short and speed should be fast. The purpose of re-frying is from crisp to crisp, and the taste is better.

Fried lotus root clips can be eaten directly, or dipped in your favorite sauce such as tomato sauce or sweet and sour sauce, but I think it is delicious to eat directly!

Tips:

The batter should not be too thin, as long as it has a little fluidity. If you have beer, you can use it to stir the batter and fry it more crisp ~ If it is cold, you can fry it again or bake it in an oven at 180 degrees for 5 minutes ~
