I'm posting this recipe for my own records. One day, I'll pass it down to my children. It's our family recipe.
To make a cute flower shapes, it's best not to use large lotus roots. Recipe by kebeibiko
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Peel the lotus root with a peeler, then slice into 3 cm wide rounds (about 1/2-1/3 of a section) to make carving the flower petals easier.
- 2
Cut a trianglular section between each pair of holes to make a shallow groove. Use the knife to round out the sharp edges to shape the flower petals.
- 3
Slice each section to 5 mm thick. Soak in a bowl of vinegar and a little water (not listed) to remove the astringency.
- 4
Put the seasonings and kombu in a small pot, add the takanotsume, and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat after it comes to a boil, remove the kombu, and let it cool.
- 5
Boil water in a pot, add the lotus root, and parboil (for about 1 minute). Drain through a flat sieve, lightly sprinkle with salt (not listed), let cool, then soak in the liquid from Step 4.

They go great as part of an osechi (New Years' Feast) assortment!
