Lotus Root Salad with Fragrant Sesame
cookpad.japan @cookpad_jp
I wanted to introduce my children to different ways to eat lotus root, since I love lotus root myself.
Even if it's a bit of a bother, the sesame seeds will be much better if you toast them.
Make sure to drain the lotus root very well after boiling it or it will be too watery.
The cooking time is kept short in order to preserve the crispy-crunchy texture.
Try the salad with tuna instead of ham.
You can halve the amounts, since this is a lot of salad. For 4 servings. Recipe by Mamimeron

- 1
Cut the lotus root into 3 mm or so thick slices, and put in a bowl of water with a little vinegar added to get rid of any bitterness.
- 2
In the meantime, finely shred the carrot and sprinkle with salt. When the carrot has wilted, squeeze out very well.
- 3
Shred the cucumber, and cut the ham up into 5 mm wide strips.
- 4
Toaste the sesame seeds in a dry pan.
- 5
Grind up the sesame seeds well. This makes the flavor very mild. If you don't have a suribachi (Japanese grinding bowl) you can just crush the sesame seeds with your fingers.
- 6
Boil some water in a pan and quickly blanch the lotus roots for about 5 seconds.
- 7
Drain immediately and drain very well.
- 8
Mix the lotus root, chopped up ingredients and the ● in a bowl, and it's done! It's best if you mix the solid ingredients together first, then add the seasoning ingredients.

Spicy Lotus Root and Burdock Root Salad with Sesame Seeds

Simple Lotus Root Salad
I just came up with this off the top of my head. I also recommend you enjoy it with French dressing.In Step 3, fry the lotus root until browned.If you are not using sushi vinegar, make your own by combining 1 tablespoon of vinegar with sugar and salt.If you just use vinegar, it won't have a mellow taste, so make sure you add a little sugar as well. Adjust the amount of dressing ingredients to your tastes. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221
Lotus Root & Gochujang Mayonnaise Salad
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

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

Turnip Namul-style Salad with Sesame Oil
Turnips are in season: in spring, from March to May; and in autumn, from October to November. I like juicy spring turnips the best. I normally use smoked salmon or canned tuna, but I used imitation crab sticks to make this dish even cheaper as the consumption tax rate has been raised recently. I won't be defeated by tax increase!Don't add too much salt to season the salad at the end. I normally grind roasted sesame seeds halfway through and sprinkle over the salad, but you can use store-bought ground sesame seeds as well. Recipe by COCOnchino daidokoro

Delicious Taro Root Salad
I figured taro root could be used as a potato substitute for salad, croquette, gratin, etc, not just potato tumblers. I tried this recipe with umeboshi and it was delicious.If you steam the taro, it'll be easy to remove the skin by hand. In step 3 don't mix in all of the taro. Set a little aside, then mix in a little later, but not too much, thus you'll be able to savor two textures of taro root. Scatter with julienned nori seaweed and shiso leaves for aroma!

Easy Spinach and Mashed Tofu Salad with Aromatic Sesame Seeds
This recipe is a part of my easy healthy food project!I'm experimenting with staple side dishes that have lots of vegetables with as little oil and sweet ingredients as possible.Since it's a healthy dish, the seasoning is a little on the lighter side. The sesame seeds are aromatic so it doesn't bother me that much. If it's not enough, add miso and soy sauce, and adjust the taste to your liking. Recipe by chibirock

Spring Cabbage Salad with Sesame Oil, Lemon Juice and Salt
Spring cabbage is so tender, and I love to eat the crunchy raw leaves.There are many picnics and potluck parties in the spring, so this simple and quick to make dish is perfect for such occasions.The crispy crunchy texture is very popular as an accompaniment to other dishes.It's great for everyday meals too.Adjust the amount of salt to taste.The lemon juice is the key.It's hardly a recipe, but during the spring cabbage season you may want to eat this every day.A big tupperware container full of this at an ohanami (cherry blossom viewing) picnic is quite popular. Recipe by Tomomikicchin
Chinese-style Cellophane Noodle Salad
I loved the "bansansuu" they used to serve for school lunch, so I re-created the dish from memory.The noodles are too long to eat as-is, so cut them up into easy to eat lengths after cooking them.If you mix the seasoning ingredients in a large bowl, add the noodles to the bowl later, you only have the one bowl to wash up.Rub the cucumber with salt and squeeze it out beforehand. If you skip that, the dish will become watery. For 6 servings. Recipe by Hamumaki
Chinese-style Salad with Carrot and Enoki Mushrooms
This Chinese-style dressing is a staple in our house.I used to use bottled Chinese dressing when I was a newlywed. I took a good look at the ingredients, and thought that I could replace the umami with mentsuyu noodle sauce! So I settled on this ratio. It has more vinegar than the norm.Even if you cut off the root ends, the enoki mushrooms will be clumped, so be sure to shred apart.Once the enoki mushrooms have absorbed the flavors and have turned brown, the salad is ready to eat.Try tossing shimeji mushrooms, wakame seaweed, green onions, radish sprouts, mizuna greens... anything you like!
