  6. 5cm Kombu for dashi stock

Cooking Instructions

  1. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.

  6. 6
