I often make lotus root kinpira so I just tried adding minced pork to it. It's also delicious if you make it with mentsuyu. You can substitute the red chili pepper with gochujang. (You will need to reduce the amount of soy sauce and sugar in that case.).

Adjust the amount of sugar to your liking. It's also tasty if you substitute the red chili pepper with doubanjiang (1/2 teaspoon). If you like it saltier, you can add 2 tablespoons.
There should still be a crunchy texture to the lotus root after frying. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221
