There are many wonderful places for the summer lotus to enter the vegetables-August is the time when the lotus is in full bloom. At this time, the lotus leaves in the park are connected to an endless green ocean, dotted with delicate lotus flowers, attracting countless tourists to stop and watch. A breeze blows, and the fresh lotus leaf aroma makes people feel refreshed. At this time, I really want to pluck a few lotus leaves and add them to the vegetables to feel what it is like that lotus leaves are covered with dew.

Of course, picking lotus leaves in the park is a fine! It doesn’t matter if it’s over eight, as some of the vegetable markets nowadays sell fresh lotus leaves at affordable prices. (The steamed ribs with lotus leaf and glutinous rice made this time is for 2-4 people. You only need a large lotus leaf)

Putting lotus leaves into the dishes not only conforms to the season, but finally the steamed dishes are brought to the table together with the steamer. In front of the guests, like a girl's veil, the lotus leaves wrapped with the ingredients are gradually uncovered. Cut along the edge of the steamer to reveal the true face of the dishes. Looking at the customers' eyes from curiosity to surprise, there is really an indescribable sense of accomplishment!

In addition to the visual effect, when the lotus leaf is used in the dish, there is also a subtle fragrance that can be tasted through other ingredients when it is tasted. It is really an extremely elegant dish.

Tips:
tips:
*Dry lotus leaves can be used without fresh lotus leaves, but before use, soak them in water overnight.

*If you are worried that the fresh lotus leaves will not be washed clean, you can use boiling water for a little blanching.

*In the process of steaming, always pay attention to the amount of water in the pot and remember to add water (boiling water) to avoid sticking the pot.
