1. Cut green pepper, millet and garlic into small cubes, and shred carrots.
2. Put the green pepper, millet and garlic in a small bowl, add a teaspoon of salt and a spoon of sugar.
3. Pour the smoky hot oil into a small bowl.
4. Stir quickly to melt the salt and sugar, and the hot oil will also enhance the flavor of the seasoning ingredients.
5. Add a tablespoon of light soy sauce, a tablespoon of white vinegar, a little pepper, and a tablespoon of cold water. Stir well.
6. A large section of lotus root, peeled and washed, cut into thin slices slightly thicker than a coin.
7. Soak it in clean water for 5 minutes to remove the starch on the surface of the lotus root slices.
8. Boil water in a pot, add a little salt to the water, add lotus root slices after the water is boiled, and blanch for one minute.
9. Remove and drain the water.
10. Soak it in ice water quickly to cool down (I put a big ice bag in the water in advance), so that the lotus root slices will be very crispy and crisp.
11. Soak for 5 minutes, remove and drain.
12. Put the dried lotus root slices into a large bowl, put the carrot shreds in it, and pour in the sauce just made.
13. Grab and mix evenly, cover with plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for one hour.
14. Take it out an hour later. The lotus root slices have finished absorbing the sauce. At this time, add a little sesame oil to increase the fragrance.
15. Sour and refreshing cold lotus root slices, summer appetizer, simple and quick.
