How To Make Flower-Shaped Lotus Root (Decorative Lotus Root)

I decided to upload it so many people could give this a try.
You can peel the lotus root or not, it's up to you. The peel comes off as you cut the flower shape out anyway, so I don't peel it beforehand.
I also have a blog post with big photos, so if it's hard to understand here please take a look over there (Japanese): http://ameblo.jp/aurora-dreams/entry-11120532259.html Recipe by aurora920

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Choose a round, white lotus roots with holes that haven't turned black. One with evenly spaced holes is more attractive, and will look very pretty when cut into a flower shape.
- 2
Make a cut in between each hole (where the red lines are). Please refer to the red lines for the depth of each cut.
- 3
It looks like this from the side.
- 4
Make rounded cuts towards the vertical cuts (red) that you made before, following the yellow lines.
- 5
This is one that has been cut. The cut parts are the yellow parts.
- 6
Next, cut along the blue dotted lines in a curve. This easier if you flip the lotus root over.
- 7
Done. Slice to your desired thickness, and put in a bowl of vinegar water to prevent it from discoloring.
- 8
You can simmer quickly in sweet vinegar sauce to make sweet vinegar lotus root, or cook in any way you like. If you add some yukari powder (dried red shiso leaf powder) to the hot sweet vinegar sauce the lotus root slices will turn pink.

White Lotus Root Cake White Lotus Root Cake
I suddenly got the idea to make white and black vegetable-based cakes! Black would be burdock root, and white...I decided to try lotus root, keeping to the root vegetable family!Since lotus root becomes sticky and doughy when heated, I thought maybe I can use it instead of eggs. So I tried making an eggless cake with it - and it worked just as I thought it would!!I used honey to sweeten it -- to contrast with the brown sugar syrup I used for the burdock root cake. This taste worked well in the lotus root cake.I tried chopping up lotus root and mixing it in the batter, or slicing it and putting it on top, but it got soft and wasn't that good. The best method was to grate it and add it to the batter! I used honey to contrast it with the brown sugar syrup used in the burdock root cake, but regular sugar would be find too of course! If using sugar, mix in with the flour in Step 1!!I actually made the cake shown in the photos using double the amount of ingredients. I made a slightly larger paper case than the one Ripiimama used. For loaf pan: 18 x 8 x 6 cm [7 x 3 1/4 x 2 1/4 in]. Recipe by keke cookpad.japan -
