Just Like Grandma's Crispy Pickled Lotus Root
cookpad.japan @cookpad_jp
A recipe passed down to me from my grandmother. This is one of my family's staple New Year's fest recipes, but I had an unexpected craving for it, so I went ahead and made it.
Be careful not to burn the lotus root when evaporating the liquid. Evaporate it quickly on a high heat, but be sure to keep a close eye on it. If it starts to stick to the bottom of the pot, remove the pot from the heat. You need to cook it quickly on a high heat in order to attain a crunchy texture. Recipe by satokohime

Peel the lotus root, slice as thinly as possible and soak in vinegar water (not listed).

Add the ★ ingredients to a separate pot, bring to a boil, then add the blanched lotus root.

Osechi Flower Vinegar-Pickled Lotus Root
Osechi will look even prettier with these, so I make them every year without fail. I use sushi vinegar because it has salt, sugar, and konbu dashi broth added, so it makes pickling simple.It takes time to cut out the flowers, but do your best. Don't get discouraged even if you don't succeed! It is easy to use a peeler for the finer parts. For 1 medium. Recipe by Kona kotobuki

My husband and I love beer.We thought of this because it's quick and easy to make and can be a snack or a main dish!!We made a healthy dish in the microwave... with a beer in one hand.This time, I used my favorite Mastrad silicone steamer.You could use plastic wrap as well. In that case, set a shorter time and check how it's going. I used sliced pork this time, but pork belly and pork shoulders work well too.Use it as a side dish in your bento. Recipe by Jimiko.

My niece told me they had a simmered lotus root dish for dinner, which made me want to make some myself. It turned out more delicious than I had expected and I have been repeatedly making this dish.☆When you are cooking the lotus root right away, it's not necessary to soak it in the vinegar water.☆In the process ④ and after, the lotus root gets crispy if you cook it on high heat for a short time. If you cook it on low/medium heat for a longer time, the lotus root gets softer, but not soggy. Depending on your preference, adjust the heat. Recipe by Okanyan

Grated Lotus Root Soup
I was planning to make lotus root cakes but changed my mind and made soup instead. I didn't realise how thick this soup would be by just using the grated lotus root. You don't need katakuriko to thicken the soup. Lotus root contains a lot of fibre, and it's a very satisfying soup that'll warm you up. Might be diet friendly too?You can use pork or chicken instead of prawns. Recipe by Yukirinrin
