Wash the lotus root, peel it, cut into small cubes, and soak in clean water.

Put the lotus root in the filter, and pour the lotus root soaked water at the same time.

Pour the stirred lotus root juice into the casserole. (Be careful not to remove the lid, otherwise the filter will loosen and the lotus root dregs will seep into the lotus root juice)

Tips:
Poetry heart phrase:
1: It is best to choose old lotus root, not too tender.
2: When stirring, the food processor should be equipped with a filter, because the filter is finer than any filter colander. This will make the finished product taste better.
3: Be sure to stir well before boiling, and then turn on the fire. And be sure to keep stirring while cooking.
4: At first, you can use medium heat. When the hand that stirs in the pot can feel the heat obviously, change the heat to low to avoid cooking.
5: When the lotus root is cut, it should be soaked in clean water immediately to avoid oxidation and blackening. When cutting, use a clean knife board that specializes in cutting fruits, because you don't wash it after you cut it, so as not to wash off the lotus root powder.
6: When it's time to cook, don't use an iron pot. The lotus root powder will be unclean and white. It's best to use a casserole. The effect is very good.
7: The lotus root flour paste produced at my ratio is just right. It is about the same thick silk as the one I bought. If you like it thinner, you can use a little more water. It is recommended not to dry it at my ratio, because it will be too silky.
