1. Peel the lotus root and wash it off.
2. Cut the lotus root into thin slices.
3. Pour clean water into the pot (you can't use an iron pot directly). A non-stick pot does not work. Boil the lotus root slices in a pot under cold water until translucent. Remove them and quickly put them in cold water to cool them down.
4. If it is too cold, remove the dry water and reserve.
5. Prepare minced ginger and minced garlic (don't chop too finely) onion.
6. Green red pepper ring.
7. Cut the cucumber with diagonal blades and place it around the side of the plate.
8. Heat oil in a pot, add ginger, chili rings, one spoon of salt, two spoons of sugar, three spoons of vinegar, and finally add minced garlic and shallots, pour in a little warm water to boil, pour into the container of lotus root slices, pour Add a little sesame oil and stir well before serving. (Do not use chopsticks to stir the lotus root slices, they are fragile, just use the spoon to stir evenly)
9. Finished product. (The seasoning here, many people put it directly, and use the sauce method to heat the oil to make it. According to personal preference, I personally don’t like the raw flavor of the soup. The oily method is the last one. It’s really enjoyable, but I’m afraid of the oily feeling, haha, this method is my own copycat, it’s been tried and tested repeatedly, you can choose the seasoning method according to your personal preference, here is for reference only)
Tips:The lotus root slices should be put into the pot with cold water. Don’t wait for the water to boil, the lotus root slices will be crisp when the water is boiled. You can't use chopsticks to mix lotus root slices. The lotus root slices will be broken, incomplete and unsightly. Just flip the basin with your hands. After the lotus root slices are cut, put them in the pot as soon as possible. If you don’t have time for a while, you can put them in a basin with vinegar to prevent oxidation and blackening. It is best to use white vinegar. The color of the finished product will be much whiter. I don’t have white vinegar this time. The color of the cold vinegar is not as good as that.
