Since I love pickled lotus root, I make it often, even when it's not for a new year's feast. This recipe incorporates my preferred degree of sourness and sweetness.

Parboil for 3 minutes to retain the crunchy texture.
Turn on the heat, reduce to low after it comes to a boil, then simmer for 3 minutes.
As long as you use a drop lid, the lotus root doesn't have to be completely immersed in the liquid. (They can stick out about 3 mm.) Recipe by hawaiipine
