Simple Lotus Root Salad

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

This is a variation of "Kinpira Gobo" (stir fried spicy burdock root). If you add mayonnaise to kinpira, it becomes a delicious, earthy salad. I made this version with lotus root as a variation!Recipe by Raby

1st time ever make is quite nyummi

A salad seasoned with my favorite homemade dressing.The hint is to avoid blanching the vegetables for too long. Even it it may seem a bit firm, it'll soften in residual heat. Don't soak the lotus root and the burdock in cold water after they're cooked. Recipe by Chiton

I received a lot of delicious pears, so I wanted to somehow use them. That's when I decided to make a sweet sauce.Cook the lotus root and sweet potatoes well, then turn off the heat and coat in the sauce. Recipe by Yumemiru Usaringo

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

I wanted to eat a Japanese-style salad with lotus root, which I love.For the lotus root, boil it but make sure that it still retains its crunchy texture.The mizuna is optional. Recipe by *sarasa*

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

I heard that it's a good idea to substitute half the mayonnaise in a salad with yogurt, so I did that in this recipe.We use a reduced calorie mayonnaise to start with, but this salad cuts down the calories even more. Recipe by Gacchan

I take macrobiotic cooking lessons. I arranged my grandmother's kimpira dish into a macrobiotic style.Serve on a plate without mixing too much after you add the mizuna. Otherwise, you will lose the crunchiness. Kombu based dashi can be replaced by using 1 teaspoon of dashi stock and 1 tablespoon of water. For 4 servings. Recipe by Korigata

I love burdock root (gobo) salad. I've been making this for ages since it's a firm family favorite. It's great to pack in lunchboxes too!Pay attention when you're adding the seasoning ingredients at Step 5. Also be sure to dry the vegetables well in the prior step, or the salad will be watery. For 2-3 servings. Recipe by Donpintan

Apparently, you lose half of the nutrients if you peel a burdock root or soak it in water.Cook the burdock root soon after cutting it. I recommend seasoning this pretty strongly when stir-frying. It's a little too salty, eat with a side of lettuce or sliced cucumbers, and you won't even need dressing! Recipe by DIRTBAG

My child has asthma and when the season changes, his asthma worsens.Daikon radishes, lotus roots and burdock roots are known for calming coughs. Burdock roots, daikon radishes and cucumber are for lowering a high temperature. Carrots and sesame seeds are good for the lung.You can use ground sesame.The sesame seeds absorb the excess moisture from the vegetables and prevents the salad from becoming soggy. Recipe by Noritama@kusuimun

I figured taro root could be used as a potato substitute for salad, croquette, gratin, etc, not just potato tumblers. I tried this recipe with umeboshi and it was delicious.If you steam the taro, it'll be easy to remove the skin by hand. In step 3 don't mix in all of the taro. Set a little aside, then mix in a little later, but not too much, thus you'll be able to savor two textures of taro root. Scatter with julienned nori seaweed and shiso leaves for aroma!

This recipe is from Chatelaine Food Express "Quickies". It has been modified slightly from the original recipe. You can do a mixture of green and yellow beans if you prefer.

Wanted a light salad to go with dinner.

I love chick peas and making my own hummus. This recipe could easily be made using canned chick peas and black beans if want to save time. Just remember to rinse them. It's an easy, beautiful dish that tastes great!
