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

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 -
