Ingredients

  1. 100lotus root
  2. vegetable oil for frying
  3. 1vinegar
  4. 1water
  5. salt

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Peel the skin of lotus root and clean well in running water.

  2. 2

    Thinly slice the lotus root. I found it is easier if using julienne slicer.

  3. 3

    Mix icy cold water and vinegar ( 1tbsp vinegal : 1000ml water ) and soak sliced lotus root in the vinegar water about 15 minutes. This way will keep lotus root crisp, well clean and not turn into dark color.

  4. 4

    Dry the sliced lotus root well.

  5. 5

    Heat vegetable oil in a pot to 180°C. Deep fry the lotus root until crispy and golden brown.

  6. 6

    Put fried lotus root on kithen paper to remove the excess oil, Season with salt while hot.

  7. 7

    Let it completely cool before keep in dry container for longer storage.

  8. 8

    You can season with other seasoning, such as paprika, cayenne pepper or curry powder.
