Tips:
Xiaoyingzi's words:
1. To make this kind of cold lotus root, the lotus root must not be overheated. It should be crispy and unpleasant on the surface. As long as the white heart is not seen, it is fine. Take it out and put it in cold water immediately.
2. The scallions must be white, so that the taste is not spicy.
3. The choice of rice vinegar should be light cold vinegar, so that it will not affect the color of the dishes.
4. The selection of white lotus root used in cold dressing is a very important part, so be sure to choose lotus root instead of lotus root. The lotus root is suitable for cold mixed raw food, the lotus root is suitable for fried food, and the lotus root is used for soup. Different parts have different tastes. Don't choose the wrong one. When buying lotus roots, you have to buy the one with the joints on both ends that are not ventilated. If it is ventilated and exposed, it may have gone into the silt inside. Even if it is cleaned, the lotus root will not be so white.
