After September is the best time to eat lotus root! When the weather turns cooler, the lotus root is sizing in the soil, and the taste becomes more crisp and sweet! The taste of lotus root in August is much worse!
Whenever a friend comes to eat at home, I like to mix a plate of lotus root slices. The recipe is simple and delicious, and everyone likes it too!

Ingredients

2 sections Lotus Root
2 tablespoons White Sugar
2 tablespoons Sesame Oil
2 tablespoons Cold Vinegar
0.5 tablespoon Salt

Sweet and Sour Lotus Root Slices

1. The lotus root will be peeled first. For cold or stir-fried lotus root, choose the top section of lotus root, because the top section of lotus root is the latest one that grew out of that year, the taste is very crisp and sweet, and there is no residue. If it’s a lotus root with stewed meat, choose the two later sections in the middle. This kind of lotus root tastes more noodles and sweet.

2. After peeling, cut the lotus root into thin slices. The thinner the lotus root slice is, the easier it will taste and it will not break easily. After cutting, put the lotus root slices in cold water and wash it again

3. Pour clean water into the pot and bring to a boil. Put the lotus root slices in and blanch for half a minute. If you see the lotus root slices changing color, take them out immediately. You should not blanch the lotus root slices for too long.

4. Put it in cold water immediately after removing it, and you can use cold water once or twice according to your preference

5. Then filter the water again, add 2 tablespoons of white sugar, 2 tablespoons of cold vinegar, 2 tablespoons of sesame oil, and half a tablespoon of salt. Pour a small pot to make the seasoning evenly wrapped on the lotus root slices. Marinate for a while and start eating!
