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
