Tips

Tips for purchasing lotus roots: Choose the thick end of the whole lotus root (commonly known as the "big lotus melon"). This end is pink and tender and meaty, and does not taste delicious. Leave the dregs aside and go well with the peeled mung beans. When stuffing mung beans into the lotus root holes, the principle is to be full rather than "solid", but don't stuff them forcefully, because mung beans will expand when exposed to water, and too many mung beans will burst the lotus roots and the dish will become a mess.
