In summer, I love the crispy and raw lotus root slices, mixed with a slightly spicy seasoning, the family likes it, it is refreshing and very appetizing. It is not difficult to make lotus root slices crispy and raw. I have summarized a few points: first, lotus root is divided into powdered lotus root and crispy lotus root. For cold dressing, you should buy crispy lotus root, the tender one is better; second, braised lotus root Wash off the starch before water; third, add salt and vinegar to the blanched water; fourth, boil the blanched water to the boil, blanch it instantly, not too long, it will become translucent and it will be ripe; Fifth, after blanching the water, rinse with cold water immediately, and then prepare a pot of cold boiled water in advance, put it in the refrigerator and freeze it into ice water, and put the lotus root slices in ice water for a while to control the moisture.
The lotus root slices made in this way must be crispy and raw. The cold salad must be delicious. The cold sauce is very important. Today I made it in a soy sauce method. I made my own spicy red oil. It is much simpler to mix cold vegetables. You can refer to the detailed method of spicy red oil in my blog post. The simple method is to pour the hot oil into the chili powder and pepper powder. Today’s cold lotus root slices are really delicious. The plate used when taking pictures is too deep, and the sauce is all underneath. It was taken when it was not mixed. The effect does not look tempting, but it really tastes superb... ..

Tips:

2. If you don't have homemade spicy red oil, pour hot oil into the pepper noodles and chili noodles to become simple spicy oil. The light soy sauce and rice vinegar are added a little more, so there is no need to add salt.
