Lotus Root Salad with Fragrant Sesame
I wanted to introduce my children to different ways to eat lotus root, since I love lotus root myself.
Even if it's a bit of a bother, the sesame seeds will be much better if you toast them.
Make sure to drain the lotus root very well after boiling it or it will be too watery.
The cooking time is kept short in order to preserve the crispy-crunchy texture.
Try the salad with tuna instead of ham.
You can halve the amounts, since this is a lot of salad. For 4 servings. Recipe by Mamimeron

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Cut the lotus root into 3 mm or so thick slices, and put in a bowl of water with a little vinegar added to get rid of any bitterness.
- 2
In the meantime, finely shred the carrot and sprinkle with salt. When the carrot has wilted, squeeze out very well.
- 3
Shred the cucumber, and cut the ham up into 5 mm wide strips.
- 4
Toaste the sesame seeds in a dry pan.
- 5
Grind up the sesame seeds well. This makes the flavor very mild. If you don't have a suribachi (Japanese grinding bowl) you can just crush the sesame seeds with your fingers.
- 6
Boil some water in a pan and quickly blanch the lotus roots for about 5 seconds.
- 7
Drain immediately and drain very well.
- 8
Mix the lotus root, chopped up ingredients and the ● in a bowl, and it's done! It's best if you mix the solid ingredients together first, then add the seasoning ingredients.

Lotus Root & Gochujang Mayonnaise Salad Lotus Root & Gochujang Mayonnaise Salad
This is a recipe that I came up with while trying to think of a non-stew recipe that could use gochujang. The mild yet deeply-flavoured gochujang mayonnaise is addictive! Try it with other vegetables of your choice or steamed chicken, I'm sure it'll taste great ♪Soak the lotus root in water after slicing it to prevent it from changing colour. It's best to slice the lotus root as thinly as possible. Drain the lotus root as soon as it turns semi-translucent. If you boil it too much it'll lose its crispiness so be careful. Recipe by Daizou -

Chinese Cabbage & Lotus Root Salad Chinese Cabbage & Lotus Root Salad
I learned this recipe from my mother, who used to be a flight attendant for Japan Airlines long long ago.They served this salad in First Class. It was very popular, even though it was so simple. On board, there were apparently two types of dressing you could choose from.If you use a small lotus root you can use the slices without cutting them up for a cuter appearance (cut the larger slices in half).If you can, try to use the thicker leaves on the inside of the Chinese cabbage. Otherwise it will become watery and slushy. Make sure you thoroughly dry off the water after washing them. Recipe by Setsubunhijiki -
